Name a more productive way to pass the time during a pandemic than to study for the PMP. Before I…read moretook CJ's Virtual PMP Master Class, I was having a difficult time grasping PMP concepts and process framework through self-study. His use of relatable analogies and engaging anecdotes activated parts of my brain that I feel helped convert concepts into my own logical ideas and practical experience, thus helping me to remember the content. If you've ever fallen asleep reading the PMBOK, then this course is for you - definitely 100% worth the investment!! I ended up being the only student in the course due to a group rescheduling and was given the option keep the course or roll into the next one. I decided to take the course and although I'm sure solo is a very different experience vs. group, feel very fortunate to have had this sort of "coaching" type experience. The statement on the course webpage "Guaranteed to run on dates listed" is 100% accurate. Case in point - CJ is a devoted Dodgers fan and instead of watching the world series live, opted to hold the session scheduled for that evening which speaks volumes about his dedication to his students' success and his profession! I didn't even know there was a baseball game on. I still can't believe I was able to memorize earned value management formulas in less than an hour. CJ shares tried and true best practices to help prepare for exam day as well as valuable test-taking approaches that I don't really see anywhere else. After each session I felt even more energized and motivated than the last. Thanks so much CJ!!

I've played drums off and on throughout my life, and recently decided to take it more seriously as…read morean art form. I've studied with Carrie for about four months now, and she has supercharged my growth as a musician! She's a very kind and immensely knowledgeable drum teacher. I always look forward to seeing her, and having regular lessons provides the structure and accountability I need to make progress every week. It's been great having a professional on my side to make sense of the endless drum content on the internet these days. In the past few months, I've learned to read and write drumming notation to dissect and understand rhythms on a deeper level. We've transcribed many different songs together, and then for each groove, I write eight to ten variations to build a catalog of my own beats so I'm not just stuck playing other people's music. Every week, we work on foundational drumming techniques, patterns, and rudiments to keep my hands and feet in shape. On top of all that, Carrie is always open to whatever new thing I happen to be interested in and generously provides expert tips and resources for further exploration. More recently, I've gotten into recording and playing with other musicians in a band setting, and Carrie's feedback and ideas have been incredibly helpful and inspiring for that too. Overall, taking lessons with Carrie has been a great investment in my life as a drummer.

I have just try one lesson with her today and I am surprised to see nowadays everyone can call themselves a professional piano teacher.

Not to mention how she told me half hour was suppose to be 50 dollars then she just decided to raise it to 60 after knowing that I might not comeback.

Her expertise, dedication and passion for writing has directly helped my elementary school child grow tremendously as a writer (w/ additional proof in standardized tests). She has provided resources, frameworks and scaffolding that have directly helped deepen the learning process on topics like personal narratives, summarizing and themes. Having a tutor who also acts as a thought partner on all things writing, has also been lovely. Finally, Sophia has also introduced my child to new genres of books and created special writing units related to school assignments, events and trips. These have all provided extensive new background knowledge which make learning very enriching. She truly goes above and beyond, as you can see from all the other rave reviews on yelp! Can't recommend her enough, she is amazing!
