Great job! Hwee Ling has provided valuable guidance during breakout sessions. She has managed to reasonably capture the attention of the participants, despite a rather introverted audience. Also, she was helpful to add further clarifications after sometimes rather confusing additions from the other trainer.

Both instructors are amazing. Chris is very patient and clear in his explanation, often substantiating his explanations with real-life examples. Celine is able to contextualise and crystallize the learning points very well, often reinforcing the importance of why the concepts are important and how they can be applied.
