What our students say

“Level Up Genealogy has developed high-quality education courses to provide solid solutions for what many genealogists struggle with: organizing and writing up all the details that we find in our research. Kimberly is an excellent instructor for these courses—she’s thorough, gives reasons why she does things, and points out common areas where genealogists get stuck and how to get past them. Her extensive experience as a researcher shines through–she understands the struggle!  Although I have tried many methods to get organized and streamline my writing in my years as a professional genealogist, her Writing for Discovery and Mastering Your Genealogy With Scrivener courses finally gave me a solution that works—it’s efficient, organized, and keeps me on track.”

“Serious about wanting to be a better genealogist? A better genealogical writer? Writing for Discovery is the course for you! This is the PROCESS component universally overlooked in institutes and other genealogy curricula. And who better to learn it from than Kimberly Powell, one of the top instructors in our field? By the end of the course, writing wasn’t dreaded and feared but actually enjoyable! The course is well worth your time!”

“Kimberly Powell is a born educator who empowers her students to challenge themselves as learners, writers, and researchers. Genealogical style is different from other kinds of writing and the Writing for Discovery course gave me the boost I was looking for to become a better and more confident genealogy writer. In my book, the value of the course has been ‘priceless’.”
