A Student’s experience:
“I thoroughly enjoyed learning under the tutelage of Marie Belle! She was the best, provided great structure to each class, and is a very warm and inviting individual which made the online format easier. She had a lot of experience and wisdom to share, but also didn’t try to influence and steer us one way or the other. She laid information out and let us form our own opinions, which I appreciated as an adult learner. I wish we had more time with Marie Belle to explore a few other topics that we couldn’t get to!”
