Student Feedback for Aubrey
The course was clear, informative and inspiring. I especially liked the exercises Aubrey shared, and the fact that she did them along with us. Aubrey was smart, friendly and encouraging. Teresa Wong
Ms. Hirsch was an outstanding teacher. The characteristic of hers that left the biggest impression was her generosity. She was open to sharing both her positive and negative experiences, and offering her comments on anything we had to share. She is also a technical expert and shared that expertise with us to help us build our skills. Her teaching skills, communication, skills, and technical skills were a great combination and made the class an excellent experience. Glenn Nicol
