Hi, I'm Stephen Byrd
Welcome to Astro Readings. I built this free tool because I genuinely believe that useful, accurate resources should be available to everyone — regardless of where they live or what they can afford.
I spent over 30 years working in education — from corporate training to holding principal positions at international schools around the world. Throughout my career, one thing never changed: my belief that education and the right tools can genuinely change lives.
Now in my 70s and semi-retired, I spend my time building free online tools and educational resources that help people every day. Astro Readings is one of those tools — and I hope it helps you too.
Free Education When Students Needed It Most
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, millions of students around the world suddenly lost access to their schools and teachers. Online courses — which should have been a lifeline — rocketed in price overnight, putting them completely out of reach for many families who could least afford it.
I built igcsebusiness.com and made all of my IGCSE Business Studies courses completely free. No charge, no sign up barriers, no paywall. Just good quality education for any student who needed it, wherever they were in the world.
That experience reminded me why I went into education in the first place — and it is the same spirit that drives every free tool I build today.

I am currently working to help international schools in Vietnam navigate Resolution 71 — a significant set of regulations that affects how foreign-invested schools operate in the country.
Most consultancy firms charge between $500 and $800 USD just for the gateway information pack that schools need to understand and comply with these regulations. For many smaller schools, that cost is simply impossible to justify.
📦 I have made the full gateway pack available as a free download at neoacademics.com — because no school should be locked out of vital information by a price tag.
If you work at or know of a school in Vietnam that needs help with Resolution 71, please share this with them. It costs nothing and could make a real difference.
