Alex was amazing. Explaining things so well and dealing with comments and questions from a lot of people and myself without being rude or annoyed. I felt comfortable moving at his pace and felt like i could store this information well as Alex went back and recapped what he just taught us all.
(5.00 out of 5) Beth K [ 20 October, 2021 ]
Presentation is excellent. I think I would benefit more with the intermediate course rather than this one but I've still learnt some formatting tricks that I didn't know previously. It certainly has not been a waste of time on my part.
Thank you, Alex.
