Intro to Crochet II
There were 4 people in the class. Three were there to learn how to knit (zero experience) and me, there to brush up on my crochet skills. The instructor, Hero, managed to give her attention to all of us. Her calm and humorous demeanor paired with her quick eyes, helped to put everyone at ease. I really enjoyed the class and I learned how to make a granny square, which was the real reason behind me wanting to improve my skills. -
Mixed Media Art
Not at all what I was expecting. Was so disappointed I only attended 1 class. -
Stained Glass Workshop
I’m very pleased with the end product but I felt like the pricing wasn’t upfront. I don’t know that i would have paid the extra $85 and $50 for this course, but if i had, I would have appreciated all the prices explained before I booked it. I was especially upset about the extra $50 paid directly to the instructor. -
Intro to Painting I & II
Thanks so much for an amazing class - it really included a lot of techniques in a short amount of time. I really enjoyed it. -
Intro to Painting I & II
I was so disappointed that I didn’t even bother going to the last class. There were six of us in the class although we were registered for three different courses (drawing, painting, and mixed media). I know it was an intro course, but we spent a good 30 minutes in the first class talking about primary and secondary colors. We were given an assignment and then basically left alone to do it, with very little feedback. Of the three brushes I was given to use, one was so hard that it didn’t even soften after 30 minutes soaking in water. Also, learning to draw/paint shadows in a dark room with only overhead lights is very difficult. I learned more from the videos I had watched on YouTube. -
Proofreading & Editing
The class was good as it was interactive. But I thought I will leave with my Certificate of completion as I was told when I registered -
Fun and Easy Tarot - Learn to Read Tarot
Sara is great. We had a fun group. I wish this was a two part class so we could go more in depth. -
Fun and Easy Tarot - Learn to Read Tarot
We got a late start and the instructor seemed kinda frazzled the whole time. The instructional style seemed a little haphazard. We sped thru the meaning of each card and were discouraged from reading the deck books, and to instead do everything from intuition, which is hard to build from if you are randomly assigned the “grimoire deck” and every card illustration depicts something catastrophic. It was fun, but way too expensive. (There was a $12 materials fee on top of the course fee, but we didn’t get a tarot card deck so I’m unsure why.) Also the class was from 2:30 - 5:30, not 4:30. And it ran late due to disorganization. -
Fun and Easy Tarot - Learn to Read Tarot
I liked the class, but I was surprised at the fee. Not only was the class $59, which would've been fine, but the instructor charged an additional $12 at the class. I thought that I was going to get a tarot deck for that fee but I just got some photo copies of instructions on reading tarot. Overall, it was overpriced and I wouldn't do it again. -
Stained Glass Workshop
It was very good indeed. The instructor knew their stuff well, and wasn't afraid to tell us this. We all walked out with great quality stained glass pieces that we can all be proud of. -
Stained Glass Workshop
This was a great introduction to stained glass! Isabel was a detailed and helpful instructor and provided hands-on support to all the students. You can get your piece framed with a chain for an extra cost, but it was nice to go home with a finished piece that was ready to hang up. Overall it was fun but pricier than expected. -
Mixed Media Art
I enjoyed the class but feel due to my lack of art experience I did not get as much out of it. -
Italian Language - Beginner (Online)
I was the only person registered for the class so it was one on one. Though I stated I did not want to do this I said I’d give it a try. I managed to do two classes but I really did not enjoy being the only student. However the teacher was very nice and an engaging conversationalist ( in English) Both he and the director of school were personable and flexible and I believe they will allow me to take a different class in the future with my unused classes. I recommend this school for flexibility and a human touch, -

Jump Start your Notary Business
Didn’t walk away with everything I should’ve learned for basic Notary Skills. Need more class structure, group was too large in tight space and focus more on Notary lesson only. -
Intro to Crochet
Instructor was awesome and very hands on. We learned one basic knot. Didn’t care for picture illustrations, especially if you don’t know what you are doing. But, realistically this one day 2 hours is not enough. Thank goodness it was only myself and one other student. This needs to be taught in a series of classes. This really was a waste of money and time. -

Very knowledgeable instructor. Provided networking with professionals needed for business startups. -
Stained Glass Workshop
Class size was waaaayy too big. I felt like I didn’t get the interaction I paid for because there was too many people. Otherwise- no complaints! Loved the course, great instructor, felt like I learned a lot. -
Jump Start your Notary Business
I knew nothing of the notarial process, Eva provided me with stepping stones to begin my business. I look forward to my next class to further my knowledge and skills in my notary public entrepreneurship.
