"Took Photoshop and Dreamweaver courses.  Had previously tried to learn Photoshop on my own but became very frustrated with it.  I signed up for the Photoshop course and the owner/instructor (Mark) did a great job of teaching me how to use the software.  While I am still far from being an expert, the skills I learned in the class have allowed me to do things at work which I previously would have had to hire someone else to do.  I enjoyed the class so much that I also took Dreamweaver as an introduction to designing websites which is something that also is of interest to me but never thought I could do on my own.  Both classes are highly recommended for those who are interested in photo editing and web design."

"I was just reflecting on the class that i took recently with Mark. The class was Beginners ActionScript 3.0. I didn't really know how it was possible to learn that much of this programming language in 3 days. The great thing about this particular class and this particular teacher, is that he didn't bang through all of the material, just for the sake of covering everything- He taught us how to learn this stuff.. Mark has an amazing knack for making something that sounds so confusing in a book, make sense. Now, a couple months after the class, as i go through my ActionScript 3.0 books- i actually understand WHY i am entering the code that i'm entering.. In simple terms- Mark is a great teacher who can teach you HOW to learn this stuff! i'm very glad i had the opportunity to learn from him.
Thank you!"

I hope that you had a good trip back and made your plane ontime."

Mark, thank you for being so patient with me during the three day Dreamweaver course. It was immensely beneficial and I felt you were extremely thorough and clear considering all the material you covered in such little time. I signed up for the Flash course for September 25, 26 so perhaps we'll touch base again. Again thank you!

"Thanks again for a great class this week, You are an excellent instructor, too bad this week the classes went by too fast! I'd really love to take your course in Flash "

"I just want to let you know that the Dreamweaver training I had this week was great! Mark Itskowitch was great and I wish the other instructors would have his method of teaching. About a month ago I had Flash training and the instructor went straight from the book, paragraph by paragraph, and I did not learn quite as much as I would've, if he taught utilizing Mark's method. Mark went by the book, but added explanations to what the book had., in class the instructor explanations are much needed and are extremely helpful and the book is used as an added resource.

Truth be told, after the Flash class I was looking for another place to take the Dreamweaver course, but the City had already paid for it and it was going to be too much trouble to change, but after being in Mark's class, I am glad I didn't change it. I would very much like to re-take the Flash course if Mark would be the one teaching it. Is there any possibility he can teach the course within the next weeks or months?"

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

Hey , It's me, John I was in your Dreamweaver class last week. So, after the class Matese came up to me and asked me how the class went. I told her great! You were an awesome instructor and I really learned a lot. She then asked if I would be interested in helping to update the website. I said sure, I would love to practice my new skills."

”Hey man,

  I got great news this week.  I imagine that the reason I got "Best of Quarter" for "Fundamentals of Authoring" was largely in part to your recommendation. I can't thank you enough... even if you didn't recommend me. This new Flash class, game prototyping, it's all actionscript, and the stuff you taught, and in the fashion you taught it was top notch. Everyone jacks up in that class... except Edward, His programmer pal.... John is it? and yours truly (from sitting in your class) Again, can't say thanks enough times to express my gratitude. And I'm trying to finalize the slot machine... I'll keep you posted."

You know, I hope, that the four of us are taking your class purely for the love of learning :-) - no credit or grades. I want to let you know that I am so-o-o thankful to you for sharing your knowledge. You are truly one of the best teachers I've ever had.

I will definitely be there next Thursday (likely no site in hand) but, hopefully, the lay-out of one I plan to work on and carry through to the DAC program.

Have a good weekend,
