My instructor Maite was absolutely AMAZING! She was the only instructor at one point and she really helped us students and did a great job considering it was just her for a couple weeks. She listened to us and reached out to get us answers when we couldn’t get any. Love her! 2 other instructors came along and joined her and they were Aide and Lupe and things were definitely smooth sailing! We made it to graduationn!! After graduation, Crystal, a student advisor, began communicating with me. You’d think she was along the whole time! So quick to assist with questions I had and even helping me to secure a job interview which went great by the way. She ALWAYS responds. Crystal is definitely on top of her stuff! Read less
