" Seb makes each participant very comfortable and also encourages every participant to put their personal views on each task, which is really good to get into a group discussion. She is super approachable and pleasant personality so even introvert participants can feel ease and ask their specific queries. Seb is quite knowledgeable and speaks quite well. I would highly recommend this course and the same instructor to my friends and colleagues:)"
