There are some teachers and instructors in your life that make learning miserable, but, sometimes, you’re lucky enough to land one that is knowledgeable, personable, and really knows how to engage a classroom while making the learning interesting and fun. Christa was one of those instructors. From the first few minutes of the first class, you could tell that she not only knew exactly what she was talking about, but she also truly enjoyed being in the classroom and connecting with her students. Even with a VERY condensed schedule, she made sure to cover all of the necessary material in a retainable way. I truly can’t recommend her enough!

Excellent teacher. Disappointed by classmates—way too much chatting and failing to listen to the informative material being taught by a knowledgeable expert.
