“Kurt was incredibly detailed, helpful and thorough with his feedback on my assignments. His feedback would include positive reinforcement but also offer suggestions that would enable to improve and learn from those assignments. He often recommended other tools and resources that would be helpful based on his experience, too, during our calls. Would highly recommend Kurt!”
