Sonja was excellent. I believe she went above and beyond what a typical instructor might do. I could see she spent a lot of her personal time preparing for the upcoming classes. She was always available early before class and would stay over to help in any way. She took time to understand each student's goals and did what she could to help that student achieve those goals. She made every student feel good about their accomplishments. Her training and instruction style really made me think outside of the traditional stained glass box. I’m looking forward to a level two class in the future.
Sonja’s class exceeded my expectations! She was very knowledgeable, experienced, and creative with stained glass techniques. I also found her humorous and thoughtful. She presented herself and her class with online support, goals, strategies, and was extremely prepared with materials, tools, and lesson format. A+ for Sonja!!!
