She was scared but Luther Lindler took his time and calmed her down so that she was able to practice what she learned to pass the course. I appreciate the time he took due to if I had tried to do it she may have gotten frustrated and may not have passed. One of the better instructors that I have experienced in firearms training.

But Jeremy's kindness and patience and dedication to his craft is what made me need to review. Given the Delta variant surge, and the ability for vaccinated people to be carriers...I'm not in the best position to participate given my baby niece's immunocompromised status (who, as an infant, isn't vaccinated), and Jeremy worked with me to find a solution that helps me make sure my niece is safe and looked after, but making sure I knew the door stayed open for my own training. God bless TDT and their staff, and their members who go out of their way to motivate and encourage.
