Mark was a wonderful teacher and made learning SQL really interesting. His delivery of the topic and anecdotal stories were a treat! Really enjoyable class, thank you Mark.

Mark is a fabulous educator & trainer. He is clearly at expert in the field. He speaks clearly & at the right pace, in a very engaging manner to keep our focus & interest (as well as having lots of ripping stories & history lessons along the way). I got what I needed out of this course, which was to have some idea of how to write SQL queries. It provides me with much more insight when working alongside developers & support team members who regularly work in SQL. Thank you for your time & expertise Mark!

Very enthusiastic as a trainer and person. A real pleasure to interact with. Matthew was patient and has various ways of teaching to all learners. I am really looking forward to SQL advanced with Matthew in next month. One of the best industry trainers I have come across in recent years, globally.
