Do you want to maintain better focus and comprehension - in novels, textbooks or work-related material?

I have helped people from all walks of life – budding readers of seven, University students, busy and ambitious blue-collar and white-collar workers to high paying executives, actors, musicians, and senior citizens.

"Speed Reading Simplified is perfect for anyone who aspires to become a speed reader. True to its name, SRS makes speed reading so easy to learn: the instructions and exercises are so simple that you'll just get into its rhythm. Jon teaches the classical method of speed reading, and in my experience, it is the most effective one. I have immersed myself in various speed reading programs and unlike any other program, SRS does not just throw around theoretical concepts at you and tell you to discover your own style of speed reading. For coaching, Jon actually takes his time to get to know what you need and tailor fits his lessons so that you'll receive optimum results. He has been in the business for a long time so rest assured, you are in safe hands. He is also very passionate about speed reading (or learning, in general) and it reflects in the way he teaches his students. Truth be told, he is one of the best teachers I ever had and that says a lot because I'm already in my postgraduate studies."
The book was written and published in early Victorian Era Britain, a period when there was strong nostalgia for old Christmas traditions together with the introduction of new customs such as Christmas trees and greeting cards. Dickens' sources for the tale appear to be many and varied, but are, principally, the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and various Christmas stories and fairy tales.
The story has been aired on TV around Christmas for many years so most of you know the story well. Here you can find it - in a brand new eBook format with beautiful original illustrations for Kindle and other eReaders, Tablets and Phones.

"I have finished all the speed-reading courses and other courses regarding education and reading (study technique, how to take exams, do the homework, make the study plan, time management, etc.) held by Mr. Bjarnason. All those courses really surprised me! The speed-reading course taught me a lot and opened my eyes to books and education. It also gave me a better opportunity to read everything regarding my hobby, which is business! (that's a lot of books!). I use the speed-reading technique every single day. When using Facebook, Gmail, reading the news, or just reading information brochures. I need much less time to study and my concentration is 100% now. My school grades went up and my confidence to study everything is totally different. YES, I can and YES you can! Mr. Bjarnason is a very good teacher. He knows how to be a student and he can easily put himself into the students' shoes. Mr. Bjarnason has taught these courses for many years and has a good overview of the speed-reading process. The quality of his teaching method is fantastic. Thank you very much for the best investment in my life!"

"I decided to enroll my 10-year-old daughter, that suffers from severe dyslexia, on a course with Speed Reading Simplified in the winter of 2013. She did not want to go at first but I pleaded with her to at least try for the first session. When she came home after her first session, I asked her how it was. She did not respond at first but then she asked me - with an astonishing tone of voice - why I on earth I had not enrolled her into the program much earlier. Since she attended the course she has made massive improvement in her reading and her school work is much easier for her. She enjoyed going to the course so much and has asked me to allow her to go again - to make even more improvements - as soon as possible."

"My 12-year-old son did not like to read at all - no matter how I encouraged him or read with him. The only reading material he enjoyed were simple comics. Enrolling him in this reading program was one of the best investments I have ever made. Here he finally found the joy to pick up a book and read for his own enjoyment. He just finished Enid Blytons - Adventure Island - over the course of one day, and he loved it! My 11-year-old grandchild that participated in the course at the same time, also has a similar story to tell. Thank you so much."

A very happy mother
"I want to extend my gratitude to you and your great course. My boy was so excited and the end of class today and let me know in a text message that he was reading 1078 words per minute when he read only 168 words per minute in the first session. He was reading six times faster in only 14 days - and what is more important - he now enjoys reading! The difference I see in him and his enthusiasm in only two weeks is unbelievable. At home today - he does nothing but read - and read- and then read some more - without me having to ask him to do some reading. Before the course, I needed to stand over him to get him to read just 1-2 pages for school. Today he finished his second novel - both real books that he would never have agreed to read before the course. Thank you so much for my little man. We could not be any happier with his results and the boost to his self-confidence. Recommend your courses - 100%."
