“I’m not sure who get’s the most out of EzExtend, me or my students! My email inbox isn’t flooded with wordy emails anymore, every request has the info I need to make a decision (and nothing more!). My students aren’t scared or embarrassed to ask for help and know exactly what’s required of them. A real win-win”
