James Muren
During the pre-class interview, the instructor took the time to understand where I was
coming from to help me succeed in the upcoming classes. The Master Instructor had a penchant
for eliciting emotions of confidence coupled with a mastery of her subject. I learned lots
of practical information, and I hope to see this instructor again soon.
