Photography classes in DC can get pretty pricey and you never really know what you're going to get,…read morebut I was really pleased with getting a 2 hour private class with Rachel for less than what I've paid for other group classes. She was accommodating to my schedule (meeting at 8pm) and willing to meet at a specific location that I wanted to shoot. I like her style of teaching and have actually remembered what I learned. The key to getting better, of course, is practising but I feel comfortable with the basics and never shoot in "auto" any more.

Ranging in ages from 13 to 53-we all had a great time with Rachel. It was amazing how much information she was able to pack in in one lesson. Everyone appreciated it-even the college age guys.

Cynthia was a long time friend, and apparently also a talented florist for weddings, so you bet how…read moreexcited I was to work with her when she decided to be the florist for our once in a lifetime event. I was floored to find out that she dropped us one month before our wedding date. Heartbroken, I had to see the email that said that working with us would "ruin her reputation" because of a budget we never discussed. We were working on trust and good faith. I guess my mother and I were too naive to think otherwise. I understand she makes great flower arrangements, and does a good work when she wants to, but no bride should ever be put in my same situation. Fortunately I was able to work JUST IN TIME with another florist, who did an amazing job on such short notice. Best of luck to Dunham Floral Designs. Hopefully you learn from your mistakes and poor customer service.

Cynthia Osburn and Dunham Floral Design have in very rapid succession become our family florist…read more She is simply the best to work with for any occasion that not only requires flowers, but one that calls for having vision, artistry and passion for creating a memory. We first first met Cynthia last February when the manager of our wedding reception venue recommended her as we started the process of interviewing vendors. After one meeting on a cold Saturday afternoon, not only were my wife and I pleased with Cynthia's enthusiasm and ability to translate my wife's verbal description into actual artistic sketches, but my mother-in-law was impressed as well (no easy task!). Throughout the process Cynthia made sure my wife was kept informed of where flowers were being sourced from and involved her in every decision point and arrangement idea. We could not have been happier with the end result!Cynthia's execution of my wife's original vision was perfect and our guests repeatedly praised the floral arrangements throughout the reception! The pictures from that evening are spectacular and the flowers were a key part in creating the elegant atmosphere we were aiming for. We literally could not have been happier with the whole thing. More recently, we faced a family tragedy which also sadly called for a way to help remember our son who was not able to remain with us for what we thought would be a lifetime. Cynthia was the only person we thought of and she approached the task with empathy and sensitivity and true caring. The bottom line is, if you want flowers you can get them from a grocery store... or really any florist will do. If you want someone who cares about what they are doing and can connect with the moment they are contributing to creating, there isn't anyone quite like Cynthia or Dunham Floral Designs. Like I said, she's our family florist.

Learn Thrive Grow is truly one of a kind among tutoring companies. From the very first call, I…read morecould tell that my family's needs were more than just business to them. They asked thoughtful questions, really listened, and took the time to understand where we were struggling before ever suggesting a solution. What impressed me most was that they didn't push a one-size-fits-all program. Instead, they figured out a better approach specifically for us and matched us with a tutor who was the right fit, not just academically, but in terms of personality and learning style too. I am so relieved to have finally found partners I can trust to support us at every step of our school journey. I would not hesitate for a minute to enlist their services.

Pretty marginal…read more Paid $500 for four week class. Each week's content consisted of: 1) approx. half an hour of video lectures 2) couple chapters to read in a 3/5 star "data-science-for-dummies" textbook, written by the teacher of the class, cost another $130. Language occasionally suffered from critical typos that could seriously hinder one's learning, especially if you were a complete newbie to the math. Thankfully, students caught most of these and asked in forums. 3) weekly graded assignments Some addt'l criticisms aside from the extremely light content for $500: I raised the idea of a forum for students/TA's/the professor to raise addt'l data mining questions. This was met with immediate defensiveness - the VP of the company posted that essentially, there was no way any student was going to get any additional learning out of the class without them being able to charge for it. If we had questions about something else, pay the $500 for each other course. This reflects well the company's approach to all its classes. All lessons were taught on an MS Excel-based tool that didn't allow for any parametrization or algorithm tweaking, as one would have in R or Python. Again, "pay for those courses if you want that content." They'll rip off a lot of people who don't know that between Stack, http://datasciencemasters.org/, simple Google searches, Hastie introduction to statistical learning, you can get 10000x the content for free.

I have been to 2 courses here in Rockville, and one in DC; the classes are well laid-out and useful…read more(if well-chosen), and the instructors are all clear and helpful. (They do exactly follow the course book, so there's nothing too innovative here.) Okay, now on to the important stuff. Breakfast is bagels and cream cheese (veggie/plain), and muffins and such. They have one of those coffee machines where you can choose one of any kind of pouch of coffee (similar to a Keurig?) so that's fun. The lobby area is spacious and clean, with plenty of snacks and drinks at all times. The best part is the mid-afternoon dessert, which is always delicious. The lunch selection in the area is decent, highlighted by Noodles and Co. and Potbelly. Overall, I prefer it to the DC location, despite the long metro ride. The location is convenient enough, just a few minutes from the Rockville Station. The only negative is that the Internet is blocked at this location. They say it's for security reasons, and that's bull. If I want to be on gChat during the class or check my email, I should be able to.

Took a class here and was really impressed…read more The instructor was great - if I could complain at all, it would be that he went off on too many related and unrelated tangents and didn't finish the entirety of the book for the course. He also wanted to "do us a favor" and let us out early (4-4:30) but I say hey, if I'm paying $500-$1000 for a class, I want to get my money's worth... even if my company is paying for it. Great to meet a bunch of different professionals throughout the training, as well. The facilities are extremely professional, sleek, and clean. They provide light refreshments, such as bagels, snacks, coffee, which is a nice touch. I would recommend, if you're coming from out of town, to vet their recommended hotels a bit yourself because I was unsatisfied with mine and it was on their recommended list.
