"Sean G was an excellent instructor. Overall I was very happy with the class and I'm looking forward to taking the Advance class sometime in the near future."

"The instructor was very knowledgable in the subject and was able to answer all questions and his pace was very good."

"Sean went out of his way to answer questions and develop solutions to problems students brought to class. He's even staying late to cover the last appendix!"

"The instructor was great, he really presented a clear understanding of challenging tasks."

"Keenan did a good job of balancing a VERY wide range of skill sets. There were several slower students (that I'm not sure met the prerequisites) and he worked very hard to balance their needs with the rest of the class. I was a faster-moving student, and he always made sure to give me advanced tips to keep me engaged and busy throughout the class. Thanks, Keenan - you did a great job given the hand dealt to you."
