Kalthoom – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) – January 24, 2021

The lesson and module told me nothing new and was presented in a way that made it seem like the presenter did not have a lot of knowledge.

Dora – WESLACO ISD (verified owner) – January 26, 2021

Excellent and engaging. Lisa Van Gemert wove her training with just the right amount of factual and anecdotal evidence to make the session informative AND entertaining. The only reason it did not earn 5 stars was because it was online. I prefer the interaction and discussion that a face-to-face training session provides.
