I first learned about Kristi's class from several other actors who highly recommended her to…read moreimprove on their auditions and to start booking jobs. I was nervous the first day but Kristi creates a welcoming and supportive environment. I felt safe to express myself, make mistakes and to ask questions. The format of the class starts with brief introductions to the other friendly drop in students then warm up exercises which are always different and thought provoking. Then we take turns performing cold reads into the camera. She chooses the scenes and gives us options and flexibility on what we want to work on. (If we let her know ahead of time she will email us the scripts so we have more time to prepare. )Then we get to watch the playback of our performances and receive constructive feedback right then and there that we can immediately implement into our second take of the scene. Kristi gives expert advice and encourages us to be creative and try different things. She can help pinpoint weaknesses and strengths and how exactly to improve upon them. I've gained confidence as an actor and learned techniques that work for me. It's also been helpful to observe the other students perform different scenes and to hear Kristi's feedback for them. I highly recommend bringing a notebook to remember her insightful advice and our discussions. Kristi is a great teacher, personable, entertaining and she knows what she's talking about. I can't emphasize enough how fun her class is! We are all learning and laughing and discovering ourselves- it's an enriching experience. Another bonus is she lets you keep the recordings which helps if you don't have a reel to send out to auditions yet. Anyone can take this class, it's convenient and not too expensive, I don't think there's a better way to spend a Thursday night!

Kristi is a fantastic teacher! Friendly, welcoming, and very helpful for actors of all experience…read morelevels. I've booked a few gigs thanks to her coaching and lessons!

He made my kids feel comfortable behind the wheel and helped build their confidence with driving. We had a great experience with him, and I really appreciate all the time and patience he had with both of my kids. I would definitely recommend Mack to anyone looking for a good driving instructor, especially for teens learning to drive!

Mack Driving School is an outstanding driving school that truly makes a difference!…read moreI cannot recommend Mack Driving School highly enough! Mack and Kimball have been absolutely incredible, and I am beyond grateful for the role they played in helping my son pass his driving test. My son is autistic and some milestones that may come easily to others require extra time, patience, encouragement, and support for him. Learning to drive and gaining the confidence to get behind the wheel was a huge milestone for him. Mack and Kimbal understood that, and they went above and beyond to help my son succeed. What impressed me most was the remarkable difference I saw in my son's confidence behind the wheel, even after the very first lesson they provided. Their patience, professionalism, encouragement, and ability to build his confidence made such a meaningful impact. They didn't just teach him how to drive; they helped him believe in himself and his ability to accomplish something important. As a parent, watching your child overcome challenges and achieve a major goal is an incredibly emotional and rewarding experience. My son passing his driving test means the world to our family, and I truly believe he would not have reached this milestone without Mack and Kimbal's support and guidance. If you are looking for a driving school that genuinely cares about its students, meets them where they are, and gives them the confidence and skills to succeed, look no further than Mack Driving School! They have made a lasting difference in our son's life, and we will always be grateful. Thank you, Mack and Kimbal, from the bottom of our hearts. You are both wonderful instructors, and we cannot recommend you highly enough!

I was a student at Coding Dojo about a year ago, and despite the stress and frustrations with the…read morelessons/assignments and whatnot, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the dojo. I understand the frustration that people have had with the dojo and not being able to obtain a job in the coding field after completing the boot camp, but you only get the most out of the course if you put in the time and effort. With that being said, attending the dojo definitely altered my mindset to becoming a better problem solver, and I utilized this newfound mindset to continue learning technologies that would lead me to obtaining a career in tech (in this case, I focused mainly on React.js, which the dojo did not have a curriculum in during the time which I attended). The relationships that I developed during my time at the dojo also prove to be invaluable, as I continue to maintain contact with some of my cohort-mates. Despite that not all of us continued to pursue a career in tech after the boot camp ended, we continue to push ourselves and motivate each other towards whatever goals that we wish to pursue. As for the instructors, it really depends on your learning style. Some people learn better with someone verbally going over materials, while others are self-sufficient with simply reading text and following examples on-screen. Some instructors simply read over the materials already displayed on the curriculum, while others have smaller group activities to ensure that the students have a better understanding of the material of the day (the latter method of which I prefer). Overall, I enjoyed my experience at the dojo. If you are an individual who learns better based on a "strength through struggle" mindset, then this is a place for you.

The fact is you can learn anything on your own and don't need this place there are many Free and Useful resources online and elsewhere save your money and just put in the work. Most from my cohort is still in IT roles not Engineering. Save your money. Put in the work and do free online or lesser paid tracks. Goodluck to you all!
