Reviews from others
“Yolandie was very clear in her explanation of what I was required to do and broke down each section in manageable chunks, with examples of what I should be doing. She worked at a pace that I found easy to understand and covered a lot of material despite our initial hiccups of the technology. I like Yolandie and look forward to working with her again. Thank you so very much for pairing me with her. She’s fantastic! ☺️”
