- Make sure the course is built to be age specific: Power-Glide courses are age specific with elementary, middle and high school level courses. Other providers often offer the same course regardless of whether you are in kindergarten or high school.
- Make sure the course is designed to reach multiple learning styles: Power-Glide Courses are designed to reach kids with different learning styles, not just one style like most courses.

Your kids will not get bored! It doesn't matter if you have a reader, a visual learner or any other kind of learner, Power-Glide courses are designed to reach your child.
- Look to see if culture is taught: Our culture activities help learners to better understand different people, history and geography.
- Look for strategies to keep kids excited about learning: Power-Glide courses integrate adventure based themes which make learning fun and exciting. For example, in our High School Spanish course the student becomes an intelligence officer assigned to discover what invaders are looking for on an island. The only way to solve the mystery is to learn the language.
- Make sure the course includes portable Audio CDs: Your course will come with Audio CDs that can be reinforced in the car or anywhere you take your CD player.
- Look for tools to practice speaking and pronunciation: The audio CDs in our course will not only guide you through the course but will also help you practice speaking and pronunciation.
- Make sure the course is based on effective and proven methodology: The Power-Glide Methodology is Non-traditional and based on 40 years of research tapping into the natural way we learned our first language. Learners quickly and effectively grasp onto actual language skills rather than parroted speech. Visit our methodology link to learn more.
- Verify that the course is student and parent friendly: Learners can get started today with no prior exposure to the language. Guided by natural acquisition principles and pre-established lesson plans, parents and teachers don't need to know the language.
