"I just wanted to thank you for an excellent training Monday and Tuesday.  I can’t tell you what a breath of fresh air you were with your style and expertise.  You were able to make it very understandable and I walked away knowing that I could recreate what you taught us with my own material.  That is something we were not able to do with the previous instructor.  Thank you very much and I hope we are able to take more classes with you."

and am wondering if you are teaching any of the dreamweaver classes in July?"

It is a lot for me to take in, but at least now I have an understanding of the program and how it works."

Thanks again."

"The instructor was very personable, easy to talk to, thus easy to ask questions.
I liked the fact that we didn't stick to the Macromedia book because we were able to learn how things worked independent and then refer to the book for a second example if needed."

Mark, thank you for being so patient with me during the three day
Dreamweaver course. It was immensely beneficial and I felt you were
extremely thorough and clear considering all the material you covered
in such little time.

I signed up for the Flash course for September 25, 26 so perhaps
we'll touch base again.

Again thank you!

"Thanks again for a great class this week,
You are an excellent instructor, too bad this week the classes went by too fast!
I'd really love to take your course in Flash "

"I just want to let you know that the Dreamweaver training I had this week was great!
Mark Itskowitch was great and I wish the other instructors would have his method of teaching. About a month ago I had Flash training and the instructor went straight from the book, paragraph by paragraph, and I did not learn quite as much as I would've, if he taught utilizing Mark's method. Mark went by the book, but added explanations to what the book had., in class the instructor explanations are much needed and are extremely helpful and the book is used as an added resource.

Truth be told, after the Flash class I was looking for another place to take the Dreamweaver course, but the
City had already paid for it and it was going to be too much trouble to change, but after being in Mark's class, I am glad I didn't change it. I would very much like to re-take the Flash course if Mark would be the one teaching it. Is there any possibility he can teach the course within the next weeks or months?"

Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Elvia Hernandez

Hey , It's me, John I was in your Dreamweaver class last week.
So, after the class Matese came up to me and asked me how the class went.
I told her great! You were an awesome instructor and I really learned a lot.
She then asked if I would be interested in helping to update the website.
I said sure, I would love to practice my new skills."

Thanks,

”Hey man,

  I got great news this week.  I imagine that the reason I got "Best of Quarter"
for "Fundamentals of Authoring" was largely in part to your recommendation.
I can't thank you enough... even if you didn't recommend me.
This new Flash class, game prototyping, it's all actionscript, and
the stuff you taught, and in the fashion you taught it was top notch.
Everyone jacks up in that class... except Edward, His programmer pal.... John is it?
and yours truly (from sitting in your class)
Again, can't say thanks enough times to express my gratitude.

And I'm trying to finalize the slot machine... I'll keep you posted."

You know, I hope, that the four of us are taking your class purely for the love of learning :-) - no credit or grades.

Have a good weekend,
