The instructor (Steele Shane) was great — well-informed, experienced, personable and possessed of a teaching style that not only passed along a great deal of information in a relatively short period of time, but he did so with a sense of humor and perspective which made everyone in the class — regardless of their skill level — feel at ease and looking forward to each session. He also made sure we all had hands-on “practice time” with the lessons we were learning. He skillfully managed to “teach and reach” a class of multiple talents and exposure to the material being discussed.

Then, in class we listen, read and extemporaneously discuss each subject.

We continually learned practical vocabulary and verbs, practiced reading, writing, and speaking in Portuguese in each class. I learned a lot during the class, but never felt overwhelmed by the content. The instructor, Rosangela [Folchini], was very patient with all of the students and was always available to answer questions. She also taught us about Brazilian culture and history which was always interesting. In addition, she recommended music and movies to help us get used to listening to Portuguese, which improved my comprehension.

We had the opportunity to discover our personal connections between money habits and future goals.

A few major takeaways I gained from the learning experience was the depth of emotional connections of money habits and how it is not too early to start thinking about retirement.”

But this process turned so quick and easy with Derek Niemi, his awesome and his knowledge is fantastic. I would do this whole process again with Derek without pain if I had too. And more than knowledge, Derek showed us some tools and technical skill that can make our life’s easier as electrician. Thank you Derek and thank you Assabet.“

I would come every week to learn and cook with Amy.
