John Leek

I absolutely enjoyed the instructor. She was timely, engaging, and enthusiastic. The instructor gave the participants opportunity to speak freely and make adjustments in how we were going to present results. She was extremely flexible.

Jewel M.

I enjoyed Kim! She was the perfect amount of chill and professionalism. She was very enthusiastic about the course and mentioned she was covering for someone, but you wouldn't be able to tell. She gave a good amount of breaks too and did not require our cameras to be outside of when we were speaking - which I really appreciated. There is no point on being on camera for the entire duration of the course. Kim is clearly very knowledgeable and empathic to her class.

Emilie K.

My overall experience was fantastic, largely because of the instructor. She was fun, personable, and brought an incredible energy to the course that made learning both enjoyable and effective. The structure, support, and engaging content all came together to create a truly rewarding experience. I’d gladly take another class with her!

Karla Goldstein

Great teacher! Mr. Grover is extremely knowledgeable, highly practical, engaging, and provided me with insight and strategies that I could immediately apply in my day-to-day responsibilities. I really appreciated that it was a small class because it kept me engaged, I was able to participate 100 percent of the time and made connections with my current work using the class material, examples, and group sessions. I look forward to taking future classes with him!
