Social proof: testimonials

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to excel in school or at work!

Sassy- Wales

This course has been a major help to me. Within a week I have already learnt so much about business communication skills. Mrs. Albers teaches this course in a way that makes you excited and keen to be the best. She knows how to get a slight competition going between people in the class keeping students engaged. When we do extra work, it doesn’t feel like it's extra because of the topics we can choose from. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to excel in school or at work! - Sassy, Wales

One of the Most Essential Courses for Business Students

Hessa Al Nuaimi- Winner of the UAE Korean Speech Contest 2019

Professor Robyn taught me one of the most essential courses for business students, Business Communication. Her approach to teaching was very hands on and interactive. She always created a safe encouraging environment, focusing on our positive traits and supporting us beyond our comfort zones which helped develop our confidence when approaching our career paths. She helped me develop my script for a Korean speech contest and because of her support, I won first place! Thank you so much.
