the point that Huba took the time to sit with me as the lesser knowledgeable of the application and go through each part and explain where i had gone wrong and how to correct the issue

I liked the flexibility, Andre tailored it more to what we needed. He taught things very succinctly. He was very patient! I appreciated him especially as he was doing something he’d never done before (timeline wise).
