Personal Attention To Detail Is Awesome...
Jennifer and Thomas are amazing instructors. In every class I feel like I've gotten personal attention to "lock in" the learning. What I most appreciate is her technical abilities of making sure I have my "basics" down so I have a good foundation to grow from.
