    Paul was engaging, encouraging, and you can tell he loves what he does, which spilled over into the way he interacted with us. Overall, great class— presented well, easy to follow with time for examples, short exercises, and questions. I really enjoyed it.

    It was a great class. Zimmerman was very detailed in his teachings and used many examples so that you can get a grip on the material shared. He also kept things interesting by allowing us to share some of our creative thoughts and experiences.
