 Here is just a sampling from some of the evaluations this past year...
Working with Mat was great, even if he does spell his name with one "t." He knew his stuff, was patient, knew when we hit the overload point, had material to leave, didn't waste time, etc. I look forward to playing around with the program a bit.

I just wanted to give you some quick feedback on yesterday's Illustrator class with Alison.
It was a delight to listen and watch her.
She very clearly explained everything she did and it was very easy to follow her. She knew exactly where to go, explained why and also repeated important steps. She mentioned keyboard shortcuts (and I learned a very good new one) and also different ways of getting to the same result (that often helps when one is stuck). It was also clear that she enjoyed giving the class and she also added some personal experiences.
She was just as good as she used to be in her (on site) training classes at Pearson and there really was no difference – it was a great learning experience.

Excellent job! I am starting on my first layout recreating something originally put together in QX and I was able to set everything up with only a moderate amount of frustration. I have only one question that I have not found a satisfactory answer to in the written material we possess so I will be calling SOON! Thanks Alison!
Mary InDesign Class
I'm only hearing rave reviews on the training Mat did. We're not fully up and running on the new equipment, so it may take another week or so before those phone calls/e-mails start coming into your office. Something for you to look forward to.
Many thanks for a great job,
Deborah InDesign Class
Your Power Point workshop was a great success! The attendees seemed very happy and excited about experimenting with PowerPoint. You were a great instructor - imparting information in an organized, logical and interesting manner. Your high energy was inspiring and we appreciated your being so accessible (and nice) about our questions. There may be opportunities to offer this course again in the future. Any other ideas are welcome.

Just wanted you to know that we presented the final website to the HR group that we’ve been working with and they are just thrilled with the final product. Thanks for all you and Mat did to make it happen.

The training was terrific and the instructor was an excellent teacher. It was an enormous amount of information to absorb, we really appreciated his patience. Thanks, we'll be using your services again I'm sure!

Wanted to let you know both Chris and Alison were a resounding success.
Thanks so much for sending them over to us for our PhotoShop and Illustrator/In-Design CS3 classes.
Their expertise and knowledge, as well as highly friendly teaching styles, made the training classes exciting and pleasurable experiences.

Mat, Just a note to say thank you. You have taught me quicker and easier ways to accomplish what could easily take forever in Photo editing. I experience you as an excellent and patient trainer and I am very grateful.
Fran Photoshop
The instructor was extremely helpful! He showed me I was using the wrong
application for my ads and I've now found that it's much easier to use
InDesign for the ads I'm creating now. I've come up with two other ads, as
well as uploaded the new ad. He showed me a way to create my huge "clocks"
ad in such a way where it's reduced in size from 200MB to 29MB!
Also, he was very instrumental in showing me other techniques in Photoshop I
was having problems with.
Thank you very much for your help! I will definitely be in contact with you
in the future if we ever need further assistance.

Alison, I wanted to take the time to thank you for coming to teach me web design basics yesterday. You are an excellent communicator, and because of that I understood the lesson much better. You created a relaxed environment that didn't seem like a "class", but more like a conversation between two friends. Overall, my understanding of web design is far better now than I even thought it would be after just one afternoon.
Thanks again for your time and expertise.

I was talking with a coworker of mine about the online class for Quark efficiency tricks. I know you record the classes and my coworkers said it was a very informative and well taught class. I was able to get a link to your class that was yesterday and have found it very helpful as well!
Carissa On Line and On Demand Class
The class was great!!! My co workers seemed very interested in the class and the instructor was very knowledgeable about the InDesign program.
Nicole InDesign
I …thought that I should let you know that your Q&A session the other day was very helpful. Additionally, I found your presentation very understandable and you to be very approachable.
I have been using Illustrator since 1996 (Version 4). YIKES!!! There will
always be something to learn about these products. Thanks for all the great
information you passed on.
Pierina Illustrator
The training was terrific. We all feel that we came away knowing more about
how the new operating system works and how to make our jobs easier.
Sandy OSX
Your classes are wonderful. I always learn so much and I’d rarely take the time to figure it out myself so I appreciate being able to attend your virtual telecourses whenever you offer them!
The tips and tricks are SO helpful. Plus I love how you are able to jump from topic to topic and your enthusiasm about all the programs is contagious :)
Susanne Illustrator On-Line
Thank you so much for giving us an excellent acrobat training session yesterday. Your presentation was well organized, and you presented the information clearly at an appropriate pace. I really appreciate your efforts and will absolutely turn to you for our future training needs.
Linda Acrobat
I was unable to make it to the second User Group Photoshop class because I was out sick yesterday. Would it be possible to view the recording?
I will probably miss the last 2 classes as well because of meeting conflicts and I would be grateful if I could review the recordings for those as well. I'm very disappointed about this because I've learned so much from your classes (I also took the cool tips/tricks Part I). I will be attending the cool tips/tricks Part II...looking forward to it.
Much thanks,
Heijung Photoshop On Line/On Demand
(Note: because her company had opted for On Demand, she was able to view the recordings at her leisure)
