"Matthew is a great instructor and he is easy to follow! He does well in taking note of his audience and moves with the pace of the expertise in the room. Software classes are rarely enjoyable, yet his passion on the topic and willingness to help was displayed each day. He also stayed true to the time allotted and that was greatly appreciated."
