Thank you for teaching us to go with the best way we know to figure out a problem. You taught us to believe in ourselves and we can figure out how to make our lives better throughout our school years.

- Dominique, 7th grader

Math has been easy since you came to talk with us. I have been getting good grades on other stuff too because I remembered how to use what you showed us.

- Trevor, 6th grader

I love to teach the tricks to my parents and to my brother. Well, actually, I make my brother try to figure out the trick before I tell him the answer. It makes me feel good to know something that he doesn’t.

- Woody, 4th grader

It is really interesting to see how you figured out all those short cuts. They really help a lot on harder problems. You really taught us that if we believe in ourselves we can do anything.

- Grace, 7th grader

Thanks for picking our school out of 3,000 to do a show. It was fun and I learned many things. My mom’s going to flip when she sees what I learned. I’m usually bad at math… but this experience has made me realize I can do anything I put my mind to.

- Suzanne, 7th grader

I have been a big fan of yours since I first saw you on 20/20. I received your product on the mail recently and I just have one word to say: AWESOME!!

- Gregory Smith

I love the Brainetics program. You know, if someone had shown me some, even just a few of those tricks, I would not have hated math so much. The idea that there ARE shortcuts to things like squaring is just too much.

- Elizabeth, parent and educator

Dear Mr. Byster: Your presentation left my class completely amazed, overwhelmed, and inspired. It was evident that your math skills are extraordinary, but it was also very apparent that you possess a great love for children as well as for math. Many thanks for your generosity in sharing your gift with my children.

The quick thinking required for Brainetics has a positive effect on the kid’s performance in all subjects.

His visit created for my students fascination and excitement for numbers the likes of which I have never experienced in my entire career. My students were mesmerized by him. We invited him to return and the anticipation of his presence in my classroom was indescribable. By using his most unusual tools and techniques for learning, he has motivated within my students a profound enthusiasm and hunger for mathematics.

Chris is using the Brainetics approach in math class and shows his friends some of the ‘tricks’ he’s learned. It has helped his confidence and self-esteem.

It [Brainetics] helps her to think ‘outside the box’. It seems like her mind gets pushed in new directions and her capacity to learn is increased.

Mike Byster is the most enthusiastic and motivational speaker for children. He fascinates them with his abilities but hooks them in with his infectious love of learning. He positively challenges students to reach their full potential and do more with their mind and memory than they ever thought possible.
