Joan R.

You have to take it, it’s LIFE therapy.

I learned 33 different strategies to incorporate in my personal life and professional life.

I’ll continue doing Kim classes because they are more a therapy, and a release, reset than a class

Shannon B.

After taking Kim’s Essentials for Learning class not only am I a more effective teacher, but I’ve lost 11 pounds, my migraines have stopped… and I sleep better at night! 

I look at myself and my students in a totally different light. Because I have a deeper understanding of how our brains work, I’m now able to create positive change within them! 

Although it’s brain science, Kim makes it simple.  Best class I’ve ever taken.

Maria G.

I learned so much information about how important and amazing our brain functions!

I was beyond inspired by Kim Bevill the Keynote Speaker.

I found Kim Bevill’s passionate talk VERY helpful!  She is so engaging and she has the research to show that movement helps our kids and our colleagues.

I expected Essentials for teaching, but I got essentials for LIFE–at work, home, for family, friends, and students!

I immediately implemented Kim’s ideas:  My observation scores increased, grades drastically improved, and kids are excited to learn.  My best compliment came from my AP after an observation, “Your students are so excited and having fun that they don’t even know they’re learning!”

Carolyn M.

I expected to get a “boost” in my teaching, I got a “bang”, a big explosion instead…

Thanks, Kim. You are always so wonderful, and really are a true gift to your students – as an educator, friend, and therapist.

 I love your courses, and how I feel after I take them. You consistently provide a dose of much-needed positivity and courage to get me through not only my career as a counselor, but also through the curveballs that life seems to throw in our paths from time to time.

I was delightfully surprised and then excited as your classes are fantastic for helping bridge brain based research into a functioning classroom. I am new to online learning and really found it effective and motivating.

I loved the class (Real World Projects and the Brain Online). Teaching  STEM and wood shop, your ideas reinforce the brain science behind the design/build concept I use. Thank you.

This is life changing stuff!  It truly brought me from a place of stress and anxiety and worry to happiness.  This was a wellness retreat!  I can hardly wait to implement these ideas into my classroom and family.

Kristina D.

You have been gifted with a great teaching ability and sharing it with the world is making it a better place!

I didn’t look at my watch once! This class was 2-days!  I didn’t look at my watch once!  I loved the movement breaks!!

I was truly surprised that I wanted to hear every word you said…and it was online!  So I had to come to an onsite class–I get so motivated I brag about you all the time.

I came expecting a lot of dry brain research, but I got Research AND Energy AND Ideas AND Strategies to take to my classroom!

I didn’t know there was so much research about how to be happy… I’m happy to have learned so much that I can use for myself, my family, and my students.  I wish I had begun taking courses like this earlier in life!

There is so much info college education courses didn’t cover!

I learned so, so much and enjoyed hearing your wonderful lectures.

I wanted to take the time to express my gratitude for all that your courses did for me. Your movement course helped shape our program and helped us help a lot of students. 

B. Slade

Everyone should be exposed to your information!  You are fabulous!  Keep making the world a brighter place!

I feel cheated that I did not have this information as a teacher/counselor until now. I think of the students I could have supported with this info and it frustrates me….. But I will start immediately I will be using movement, I will be bringing the concepts to Angevine! Thanks again- Happily, it does not hurt that much to type– just pretty much every other movement!

Lisa

Everytime I hear you speak I change my life for the better.

Caroline C.

Wow! What an impact you made!

There has never been a time in the history of this BOCES when the teachers and administrators have wanted to have a previous presenter back!  Kudos to you!!

I am also happy to send you the responses I received about the training – it was the best ever and the first time people walked away actually wanting to schedule more!  I could go on and on about all of the great things happening since your presentation!

I’m a better counselor because of you… Thank you, Kim!

Your courses give so much more than just great information backed by research. You always help me keep things in perspective in all aspects of my career and life.

I’m a better counselor because of you, and I’m healthier (physically and emotionally) because of you.

Love every minute of your classes. I find myself using ideas from your classes all the time!

Thank you, Kim, for your class this last weekend.  It helped me “reset” my brain!

JoAnne L.

Kim, First, I need to tell you that this was a great class (Memory and the Brain). So many of the things you talked about memory related to me personally and professionally.  I have started applying ideas in my life and have plans to apply to my work as a speech/language pathologist in an elementary school in two weeks when I return to work.  Thanks!

Marla W.

I have been taking Kim’s classes for over a decade.

Kim’s classes gave me such a wonderful set of ideas to change my existence!  Hopefully changing my whole family’s life for the better.

Kim really inspired me to BE MYSELF while getting back to teaching this week & seriously, I can FEEL my effectiveness skyrocketing!

I loved hearing Kim Bevill talking about building relationships and connections!  It was refreshing and energizing!

You always give me amazing strategies to use with my class.  You have changed my teaching and my personal life in SO many ways for the better!

I say, ‘Do it!  Take the class.’ It’s so worth the time, and you feel so ‘good’ after. 

Krystle H.

Your powerful presentation and so very personable instruction took the subject over the top….and DID meet and exceed my hope and prediction for a 50% improvement in memory by the end of the class!! You offer an extremely professional class, enhanced by energy and personality that make the topic truly come alive.  You are really one amazing woman, and I am so grateful that I found you!!!

Stephanie C.R.

Thank you once again for taking time out to invest your experience and knowledge by giving this live seminar…it was great!  What I liked most is that it was encouraging, and gave me energy and excitement as to how I would implement this understanding-THANK YOU!

This film is the result of what I learned at your Synchronicity workshop several years ago. This is my dream come true!!  Thank you.

Dale

I have taken many of your onsite classes, as well as a workshop at my school. I just want you to know that I am enjoying this (online) class. I wasn’t sure if I would like it compared to the in-person class. I like that you are speaking throughout along with the powerpoint slides. Your interaction and perspective is the strength of your classes. I also like that I can go back now and revisit some things to let it sink into this “aging” brain. The links for games and info are great too. The games are fun and at times challenging!

Susan C.

200% More Than I Even Hoped For…or 300%!! It is just an incredibly energetic and informative class!

You Are The Only Class I Look Forward To!

This was truly a mind blowing/ mind clearing/ mind energizing class and I am so excited to work on my mindfulness and using the 6 things to better my life physically, mentally, and physically.

Dawn M.

I absolutely love taking Kim Bevill classes. Information is always research based and very practical. Kim is very easy to talk with, informative, and fun!

Stephanie F.

I took this class in order to improve myself, in hopes to help the students in my classroom and to move up on the payscale. I could see you every week, you give me so much motivation!

I came expecting to do a lot of movement and get technical info about the brain. I expected to just get through it and not really enjoy it. I got… an experience where I hung on every word like I’ve never done in a class in my life and found I actually enjoyed the movement.
