What our families actually say (no fluff)
Debbie Lawrence is a wonderful teacher. She is very efficient and creative. She is very wise and knows how to work with all types of learning styles. She personalizes each class and makes it very fun. We enjoy every class we have with her. My husband is hard of hearing. We are taking her classes to communicate better. We have found a new community that we love.

My son loved his classes with you. Today, after class, he said something that I really wanted to share with you ... 'You know what I realized today with Debbie when we had a quiet class? I don't just love to talk. I actually love to communicate.' It means so much to us to hear him enthusiastically describing his learning.
With gratitude, Susan

I greatly enjoyed the format of this course. I feel like you get a lot of information but it is grouped well to help you understand it and retain the information. Debbie does a good job of showing the signs and not going so fast you can't understand or too slow where it feels like it drags on.
