I'm a serious procrastinator and lose time with distractions. Nothing in the class seemed impossible, so I feel like I can actually use this class to make a difference in the way I use my time.
It's worth taking the Grammar Essentials course. Grace knows her material and explains it well when we are uncertain. It is a lot to cover in a short period of time, but she manages to do it.
This class was well worth the time and money spent. It was both a refresher course and an advanced English class, only simplified. This was indeed the best person to teach this course. I would highly recommend this class to both beginners and advanced individuals wanting to improve their command of writing.
I came in nervous, afraid, and hesitant. I left feeling strong, confident, and knowledgeable about PM execution.
The Project Management I class was a good experience and the instructor was excellent. I will recommend this class to my friends.

Grace Hochheiser, the instructor for the three-day Business Writing Bootcamp, is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. There was a lot of content (some new to me) but it was never overwhelming.
This was a great refresher class. I learned many new fundamental tools.
Grace's passion for teaching and her past experience in a corporate setting make it easy for students to relate to real-life business writing examples. I really like how the exercises and practice questions are structured; it helps the students learn by repetition in a practical manner.
