  I tried the 4 free lessons and loved them. Because of them I bought the Bachelor course and am working on the Sophomore level. I just bought the Master's course to do later when I finish the Bachelor lessons. I really like ****** calm voice and how he teaches and the encouragement he gives. I did not know which Sudoku puzzle books to buy and since he really likes the books out out by *****************. I bought the first one called "The Original Sudoku" on ******. It has one puzzle per page and is very nicely printed and a nice size book. I can do a lot more puzzles now that I have been through only the Freshman level of the bachelor program and the free ones and some of his extras online. Thank you so much for this opportunity to review this great business!

  The high-pressure, 4-emails-per-day aggressive marketing campaign to try to get me to spend more money than any other sudoku program is charging, is ridiculous. I tried emailing to provide feedback but it was ignored and the high-pressure sales emails just coming.STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROGRAM.

  Sudoku Professor has been in business since 2008, and this is the only negative feedback on the emails we have received here through BBB. ************** voluntarily provided his email address to ** to receive FREE lessons on how to play Sudoku, which we delivered. Some number of days after delivering more free lessons than we promised, we offered ************** a limited-time deal on one of our courses. As the deadline for that limited-time deal approached, ************** did receive four emails from us on one particular day, reminding him that a special was expiring at midnight. The email frequency is common practice, and most people are thankful for the reminders, whether they choose to take ** up on the offer or not. At the bottom of EVERY email that we send is an opportunity to opt-out of receiving future emails, which ************** could have clicked at any time but chose not to until right before leaving this review. We've only heard of "high pressure sales" in reference to telephone or in-person sales, which we do not engage in. Since email can be easily ignored, deleted, or opted-out of, there is no high pressure. Please be aware that ************** never purchased anything from us. He has no experience with any of our courses, much less the value delivered in those courses.

  I signed up for four "free" lessons s, which were presented as the first ******s in the company's course content, and am therefore reviewing the company's product. I did this to assess the quality of the instruction and determine whether I wanted to pay the fee and continue with the content. Up registering, I was inundated with demanding, aggressive marketing emails. For every free lesson I received, I also received 3 or more other emails designed to get me to pay for the full course, many of which were received before the promised lessonss were sent. On the day before I wrote this review I received 4 emails in one day ( I believe the total email count was 15 or more). The company degrades competing offerings in its content and gaslights viewers/readers into thinking it's somehow massively cheaper than any other offering even though I couldn't find anything else that was even remotely as expensive (a few MOOC courses were fee-based but there is a mountain of free sudoku content out there). I replied to one of the emails and receive no response. Sampling of aggressive messaging that disparages other solutions:"I'll show you the method most books and websites tell you to use, but... they got it wrong!""Buckle up, because I don't pull any punches..."Message subject line from a different email: "EXPIRED" (but when reviewing the content in the body of the email, apparently there were 10 hours left, followed lower in the email by an animated graphic that indicated there were 3 days left.There's a reason a bill collector - who is owed money by the recipient - can only contact someone once/day. It's because more frequent contacts are borderline harassment.
