If you saw their video from last years siyum, my son was the one who was doodling on a piece of paper while sitting with his chavrusah. He spent the last year in Israel and returned 2 days ago for Peach. He is now spending his days off learning with Rabbi Dovid Newman of Shaarei Torah who ran the very successful program here in Monsey. In my opinion, that is enough to say that it works, but no need to take my word for it. Anyone who wants to know anything about the program can just ask and I will give you my sons number and you can call him yourself.
