Testimonials

Dr. Hinduja's ability to hone in on the issues that our students are facing, and offer practical and straight-forward solutions to responsible technology use was impactful for our student body. This work is needed in all educational spaces and I am glad we were able to give this support to our students.

Adam Diaz, Lower and Middle School Counselor

Dr Hinduja's presentation for the GPS Parent Series was outstanding. It was informative, organized, very well-received. He is professional and very easy to work with - a highly recommended speaker!

Gilda Ross, Student and Community Projects Coordinator
Glenbard Parent Series

With his clear, calm, and compassionate approach, Dr. Sameer Hinduja takes the fear out of cyberbullying and social media use. His family-oriented presentation is exactly what parents, caregivers, and educators need in today's fast-paced, digital world. The best discussion of the subject we have ever seen!

Charlene Margot, MA, Co-Founder and CEO
The Parent Venture

I was interested in bringing Sameer Hinduja to our school after I heard a colleague rave about him. I spoke to my administration who supported bringing Dr. Hinduja to speak to our 5th graders, middle and upper school students and parents. He visited our campus for two days and spoke about social media and cyber bullying in a compassionate and inspirational manner. The students were engaged, laughing as he was able to connect with each age group, and they took away thought provoking questions about who they are and who they want to be. I cannot say enough positive comments about Sameer Hinduja. One 7th grade student commented, “he was the best speaker so far.” A parent stated, “I am SO grateful that you brought him, it is such an important and timely topic.” Dr. Hinduja combined real life scenarios, research, and humor effortlessly. He even presented his own Tik-Tok that he made. I highly recommend Dr. Hinduja to speak to audiences of all ages. He is not only a presenter that will capture your attention but a warm, sensitive, and compassionate human being who I hope to stay in touch with.
