"I thought I wouldn’t have enough time to get ready for the NCEA Level 2 maths exam because I had too many questions about all the maths covered in the exam. But StudyPug is available 24/7. For things that it took my school to teach in two weeks, your videos did it in minutes! I was able to clear up all my confusions quickly. I will surely continue to use StudyPug to prepare for my level 3 exam!"

This website saved my butt last semester. I am using it againthis semester. Dennis is the best online tutor... I also like that I can watch videos over and over until I really understand the concept. If you want to save time, sign up...it's only ten bucks and it saved me hours of study time. Thanks, Dennis!
