Course Reviews
Matthew delivered a well thought out and engaging, dynamic learning environment. Throughout the session, he made the material not only informative but engaging. He incorporated real-world examples into the discussion, and tried to create scenarios that may apply to us. It was much easier to understand the abstract concepts with his practical applications. He took the time to break down intricate topics into easily understandable parts and made sure took the necessary time to cover each point thoroughly and answer any questions or solve any issues we had.
Valuable and well paced learning experience. Covered all the topics with multiple examples which helped in better understanding of the advanced concepts.
The course was at the right level for me for consolidating my knowledge. With only being two participants it made it easy to digress to relevent topcs.
Matt has provided an enjoyable learning environment where I was able to build further onto the knowledge i gained from the essentials course.
