Testimonials

Bernard was very intelligent and had vast amounts of knowledge which he referred to his, the stories were interesting and helped me relate the subject matter to more real life scenarios. As I have no technical background I felt that Bernard worked hard to explain everything thoroughly to me. His enthusiasm on the subject was a great motivator and was nice to be taught by someone with so much passion.
