What our students say:
Sam H
“I appreciated the classroom time to solidify the knowledge I gained from the online course and get clarifications on critical items. Kara, your teaching style is compelling because you encourage the class to participate and gently guide and correct hands-on exercises. When I arrived, I had doubts about how I could commit new knowledge and meet the physical demands of the course, especially in a compressed timeline. You layered on information and skills brilliantly over our 2-day class and made the experience confidence-building and fun. I'll definitely recommend your classes.”
