What makes me qualified to teach you?

Martyn's course is simple and coherent. It is well taught and I do feel that I’ve gained important, practical information.

— Shoma B

Thoroughly enjoyed the course as it was very well paced. Bite sized yet providing clear concise detailed instructions that I could follow the activities in a separate file and learn by doing. Good clarity in speech and good examples help. The instructor also reverts back quickly if you have a question or suggestion.
