"Kristen has the ability to match the material and pace to fit the students’ skill level and aptitude. Her enthusiasm for the subject matter and her teaching style fosters an environment that creates an educational momentum that captures all her students. Her professionalism and integrity are second to none. What a fantastic resource to have available! We look forward to a variety of additional training opportunities.
"Kristen did an excellent job!!! She did not miss a beat.
Our group contained a very diverse set of skill levels, and she had the ability to keep everyone engaged, which is not easy to do."
"Kristen Monroe has prepared and conducted a variety of computer trainings for our team members here at Mid-Iowa Community Action. Each course has been a pleasant experience from start to finish. Her teaching style is creative, professional and meticulous to detail."
"Miss Kristen: Good afternoon. I hope your third day of training with our folks was just as successful and fun as the first two. I received so many compliments it is hard to remember them all . You can rest assured though when we do more training (and we plan to) you will be the first to be called to duty!!! Thanks for being so patient with our employees and for doing just such a wonderful job!!!!" - Joe McGuire
Students:"Being fairly ‘computer literate’ myself, I was skeptical about what I would learn in the classes I took. I’m surprised at what I learned in Kristen’s classes and impressed at how well Kristen could take a seemingly boring class and make it fun yet extraordinarily educational."
"I found the classes to be well structured and fun. Kristen has a very good working knowledge of the material and their applications, combined with the ability to communicate the steps necessary to achieve my goals. I have been to several advanced classes, in different programs. These were by far the best classes I’ve been to. Educational without the dry atmosphere so often present in higher level instruction."
"I personally thought the classes were more than just putting the information out there for you to learn and work with. They were fun and motivational. Kristen was obviously very knowledgeable of the applications and had amazing working knowledge of the material along with ability to relay the information. She was able to communicate the steps taken in order to teach students how to use each application to its fullest and understand the different ways you can go about achieving each objective. I myself attended multiple of the Intermediate and Advanced classes and found them to be exciting, fun, motivational, and by far I came out of the classes with a full understanding of what the applications had to offer as well as what I could apply the uses to in my job itself. Wonderfully constructed classes and one hundred precent educational and I loved every bit of it!"
"I think that Kristen is a really GREAT instructor. She is very patient and helpful. She helped me to understand the things that I have not done before and motivated me to try them. She also helped me when I got lost in the examples or if mine did not look like what hers did."
