“He was putting in the effort, but it wasn’t getting any easier for him. That’s when we knew we needed something different…Now he’s confident — and actually relaxed — about learning.”

My student read slowly and often mixed up nekudos. We ruled out vision problems, arranged extra practice in yeshiva, and also reviewed with him at home. He was putting in the effort, but it wasn’t getting any easier for him. That’s when we knew we needed something different. Chani was honest and upfront. We knew that she took the case only because she genuinely believed that she could help him. She immediately noticed what he was doing to compensate for his weakness and created a detailed plan that gently took him out of his comfort zone. She gave him the tools to focus and learn. Now he’s confident — and actually relaxed — about learning.

“Really helpful strategies we put into place right away… with tangible things to implement.”

We learned really helpful strategies that we were able to put in place right away. We walked away with tangible things to implement – encoding, syllabizing, unconfusing confusions – in the classroom and 1:1. Chani has a really clear understanding of students' struggles so she can break it down so clearly; the way she explains it just makes so much sense.

The 2025 course will include all these modules – plus new content added each year.

  • Last year, the course was $997 with group rates available for schools. This year, it will likely be around that price – or slightly higher to accommodate the additional modules and expanded curriculum.

  • Yes! Group enrollment merits a group rate. Please email course@chanikarp.com so we can discuss your school’s specific needs.

  • Both men and women are welcome in the course. While classes are provided live, there is no interaction between participants to ensure a comfortable environment for all – you can’t even see who else is on the call.

  • We recommend that you set aside 8 hours a week for the duration of the course. Classes run for 2 hours each, including the live Q and A.

Baffled teachers are now confident and empowered. Despondent children are now happy and self-assured. Disjointed classes are now smooth and upbeat.
The struggling child is now participating and growing.

Because CKM training empowers teachers and encourages learners.
