  "I really appreciated Simon checking in a lot to see how we were doing, they had a lot of patience and were reassuring if we'd missed or didn't understand something! All of the examples were made relevant to our specific interests and roles. I also really valued understanding a bit of the history/evolution of HTML & CSS coding as well as touching on how certain elements are important for visually impaired users, which is something I hadn't given much thought to prior to this course. Simon was also willing to take the time to expand upon certain elements which I liked as it made the training not feel rigid or monotonous."
