My two sisters and I took a private art class with Phil. I am not artistic at all (my other two…read moresisters are) but I still had a great time!! And have a piece that I created that I am proud of. Great for all ages and talent levels. Phil was very knowledgeable with different style and techniques and was able to tailor the class to our individual needs. The studio seemed to have everything you could possibly need. They seem to have a lot of classes and workshops; If you're thinking about it, I say just do it!! Price was very affordable. Also, as this matters to me, they were quick with cashing my check.

Way back in the day...approximately 18 years ago (a seeming eternity in the fast moving, constantly…read morechanging and evolving real estate industry), I was introduced to a blonde haired lady who was an instructor for Holloway Institute, one of the most prominent real estate training schools at the time. Must admit, I was a little dubious My previous instructor Pat' was now semi-retired. Pat had successfully assisted my progress through passage of the real estate exam to obtain my real estate sales person's license and I was having a little trouble transferring my loyalties and confidence. But, a few sessions with Gwyn Besner changed all of that. Not only was Gwyn knowledgeable, she was often funny and entertaining...keeping me engaged and interested throughout the course. When I took my Broker's exam several years later, there was no doubt in my mind who would be my preferred instructor. Over the years, I have recommended many agents to the tutelage of Gwyn and her team, now operating her own real estate school called Acme Institute which teaches Pre-Licensure for new agents, Broker Prep as well as Real Estate Law and Continuing Education Courses. Every person who I have referred to the Acme Institute has passed the real estate State test including some who had taken other courses elsewhere previously and failed. The Acme Institute also provides private educational courses for groups and individuals. A first rate choice if you are considering a career in the real estate industry in Michigan.
