Student Feedback


At the end of each course, students are provided forms to give feedback if they so choose. Such feedback is voluntary and may be anonymous, and students may fill them out then on the spot, or take them home for consideration before mailing them back.

The following are quotes from students over the years!

"I attended to your class in DC in 2005. My name is Katia and I'm from Brazil. These days I remembered about you and your thai massage class and decided to look for you at the internet, so I found this e-mail. I don't know if I told you, but your classes were really helpful. I learned a lot, thanks! Big hug!!"
