TESTIMONIALS

“The class can be a bit of a struggle at first but the instructor, Dawn Bagocius, is very helpful and I was able to finish my wreath in that one class. Also if you like holiday decorations this is definitely something to learn. My rating on this class is 5 out of 5.”

“Easy to do! I was shocked – started off worried but was put at ease right away.”

“The teaching method is excellent. Class with Dianne Weiss is fun and practical.”

“Excellent class! I learned more than I expected. Dianne Weiss was a very friendly teacher.”

“Mary Meany is a model teacher because she’s patient, understanding, and she’s a good choice for Assabet.”

“This beginner’s class is a fantastic intro to welding for someone who wants to learn the trade.”

“Lorna Roussea is an amazing Yoga/Pilates instructor. This was my first yoga class, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a challenging class, but Lorna always told us to remember it was “our body, our class” meaning if there was a series of moves we could not fully do, to feel free to modify them or take a break, and never feel like a failure. I truly loved coming to class every week! I cannot wait for it to start up again!”

“Diego Chaves has a relaxed yet upbeat way of making us feel comfortable and confident about our drawing exercises. With enough good natured humor thrown in to help some of us overcome our insecurities about the quality of our work! ….He makes sure to connect with each student and offers his artistic expertise in a way that helps us understand how we can enhance or improve our drawing efforts. Everyone in the class really enjoyed Diego as our instructor.”

“I am so glad that I signed up for this course with Diego Chaves. He was a great instructor and gave really good direction. He deconstructed art into exercises which made it more attainable to the beginner as well experienced artists that might need to go back to the basics! I now look at art differently and approach art projects differently. Definitely a course that every aspiring artist or even established artist should take!”

“This class brought me one step closer to my dream, owning a food services business. The instructor, Nick Nasuti, was very knowledgeable about all aspects of operations; various start up options, cooking and cleaning processes, working with vendors, talking to customers, working with your employees, etc. If you are thinking about opening a restaurant, a food truck, a catering service, or any food services business, this class is a must.”

“The information shared as well as hands-on learning was very helpful. Instructor Susan Clark was excellent-very skilled, knowledgeable, positive, and patient. Her demonstrations were very helpful. It was such a positive experience to practice in class and leave with actual skills! ”

“This class is great for new and experienced photographers. Steve McGrath, the instructor, has a great knowledge about the mechanics and the art of photography. He finds a way to give personal instruction to each class member.”

“Lorna Rousseau, the instructor, is great and so inclusive! Very happy I decided to join and looking forward to continuing.”

“The instructor’s (Cynthia Pratt) enthusiasm for the topic (owl habitats and behavior) and more broadly, for the science of conservation, took the class to a new level. It made it easy for participants to ask questions and to make the kinds of observations she was making. Additionally, the instructor went out of her way to prepare for the class. Participants’ safety and comfort were #1 and we could all sense that in the first few minutes. This makes adult ed classes fun and enjoyable, because you know you’re being led by someone who knows what they’re doing. Finally, you sure can’t beat a warm, windless October night with a full moon and the summit of a beautiful hill!”

“This class is informative and very interesting. Jonathan Stein (the instructor) was very knowledgeable and engaging! I learned a lot more about gardening than I expected which I really appreciate. I recommend it to anyone that is looking to learn something new and different.”

“I could do this class all day long and not get tired. It’s a very good environment <3. I enjoyed seeing my works come to life!”

“So much fun with family and friends. Memories made.”

“Enthusiastic teacher, Brian DeVasto, is excited to help you and will ensure you get the outcome you need.”

“Great class! Extremely helpful for someone who is brand new to the field of auto appraising with no connections.”

“Mary Kate [Gaide] was an awesome instructor. She had a great sense of humor and made learning tennis so much fun! I loved that we actually got to play tennis and didn’t just do drills. Would definitely love to take another class!”

“This is my 8th class and I’m still learning from Felipe. His critique is the best!”

“I’m very thankful because is it never too late to learn – we can do it wherever we want! For me, this class helped to continue growing my business and relationships with my customers… I’ve learned new things… Sharon [Edvy] was a excellent teacher!”

“I knew little to no Portuguese prior to taking Brazilian Portuguese Basics. I took the class hoping to learn how to correctly say my Brazilian clients’ names. The class far exceeded my expectations. 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. I am now able to speak basic Portuguese, and feel confident when reading client emails written in Portuguese. I look forward to taking other classes with Rosangela in the future.”

“Rosangela [Folchini] is a genuinely warm person who enjoys sharing Brazilian culture and language with others and she has the experience and skill to make the process successful and enjoyable for her students.”

“If you are interested in learning Spanish but have little or no experience, Spanish Basics is the perfect course for you! Mayiri [Reyes-Kattar] is an incredible instructor who is dedicated to her students’ success and works hard to ensure everyone is learning while having fun. The approach to language instruction is patient and supportive, leaving the student feeling successful and proud of their achievements. If you put in the work, you will be so pleased with the outcome. The pace of the course is perfectly matched for a beginner as you learn a beautiful new language. Thank you to Mayiri and Assabet After Dark for helping me start my journey on my life-long goal of learning Spanish!”

“Mayiri [Reyes-Kattar] is a generous teacher giving you extra help and being available to answer your questions… She wants you to learn and she puts her all into your achieving that outcome. You have to do the work, but you are supported 100 percent in achieving your goal with Mayiri’s help.“

“Auto Body Repair Basics with Josias Conationi is a class for all levels. His vast knowledge and years of experience would help anyone in the industry.”

“Such a vital skill to have – especially during and post pandemic. If there is something you yearn to do, there is a potential funder out there. Take this class to learn how to find them and make your dreams come true!“

“Ellen Gugel is experienced in grant writing and has a welcoming personality. She frequently checked in if we were understanding and seeing value, pausing to answer every question with examples that matched the need of the person. And able to still staying on track. The links she provided for us to begin our own process are worth their weight in gold. It would take anyone years of fumbling in the dark, if not for this grant writing 101 course! A must in this pandemic. Liked I could do it from home too!”

“Fun! Great decorating tips! Impressive cookies!“

“Veronique created new material every week. Choosing from a variety of short, curated, informational videos, she meticulously transcribes one each week and extracts key vocabulary. Then, in class we listen, read and extemporaneously discuss each subject. It is hard work and hugely rewarding to have to express oneself extemporaneously each week, and so helpful to have a native speaker correcting us along the way.“

“Bob Silva is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the electrical trade. Bob’s organization of each class and explanations have really had an impact on my education. He gives top notch instruction, is organized, and helps individuals when needed. I have no doubts that he gives us the tools to pass the state exam.“

“Jack Doolin was very organized in his design for this class. He is supportive and encourages students no matter their comprehension level of a new language. He ensures that student pronunciation is correct. He is also funny, making learning in the evening hours very enjoyable. A great class!“

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.“

“Zoom and Mayiri Reyes-Kattar make learning Spanish accessible and fun!“

“The class was great. Megan Scipione seemed prepared for a lot of different financial situations and was nonjudgmental. “

“Megan Scipione provides a thoughtful class for people to assess their current financial situations and plan for the future. We had the opportunity to discover our personal connections between money habits and future goals. She provides resources for the class to access and follow along with as she shares her wealth of knowledge to financial freedom. 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.”

She was an amazing instructor and with the difficulties of COVID at this time, she kept our zoom class very interested throughout the course. Assabet After Dark should keep this course around, I’d recommend it to anyone.“

“Great program to start a new career.”

“Neil Eriksen is the most awesome instructor. He is the Albert Einstein of car appraisal.”

“French Conversation is a great class. I love having Véronique Meynard Dixey as a teacher. Véronique puts tremendous effort into ensuring her students understand the material.

Under difficult and unusual circumstances this year (COVID-19), she was able to pull all of us together, online and make it work and I really enjoyed it.”

Great class!  I had no idea how my pieces would come out and just trusted the creative process.  The result was better than I expected.  Good fun!

It was terrific and just what I expected from Natasha having taken her earlier session focused on feet.  She is welcoming, thorough and was helpful throughout.

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. While I don’t pretend to be proficient in all areas of study, I can say with confidence that I now have a working familiarity with Microsoft Office that will serve me well in my career. In short, it was money and time well-spent — and Steele Shane gets the credit for that.

Great intro to perennial plantings.

Great refresher for Excel that I learned but didn’t use over ten years ago.

I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to have a general understanding of Excel.

These folks are informed, knowledgeable and direct, as well as generous with their scope and time.

Ray was exceptional in capturing the class and making sure everyone was following and understanding the content and how to comfortably move through the building a pivot table and understanding the data.

This is a great instructor with a passion for what he teaches, I learned a lot, it was upbeat, no pun intended!  And I learned a lot and had a blast, definitely a great starter class!

Useful and professional.  Looking forward to the next module.

Josias is a very knowledgeable instructor and is always ready to share ideas and offer help.

These days anyone can go on YouTube and watch tutorials to learn something new, but it’s not often you get the opportunity for a hands on education.  Excellent facility, great instruction, and at a reasonable price given the supply costs for this industry.

I really enjoyed having Rosangela as an instructor. She is definitely committed and passionate about the material.

An excellent start to learning Brazilian Portuguese.  I feel confident enough to practice at local stores and restaurants.  Very enjoyable.

The beginner Portuguese class was phenomenal.  From zero fluency, we were able to learn how to have simple conversations, understand dialogues and readings, compose multiple sentence texts, and understand Brazilian culture.

Dancing with Gypsy has taught me to stick with it even if the moves are hard.  She is very patient and I admire her dancing so beautifully.

Gypsy is full of life/energy and experience and great knowledge about the dance.

This was a great class!  I had a lot of fun and learned a lot as a complete novice.  Vicki is very knowledgeable and works very well in a class of different experience and levels.

Larry is a remarkably thorough teacher.  High knowledge extremely skilled and competent.  I highly recommend this course for any beginner, like I used to be.

Not only is the class informative but the instructor has a clear passion for the field and her students.  Which all in all makes the material more interesting and makes you want to come to every class.

Excellent way to learn a 2nd language.  This course combines reading, auditory and oral practice.

I have been taking this class for 2 years because it is so much fun.  Mary is such a good teacher.  She goes at a great pace and breaks the dances down, making it easier to learn.

I have gone from a beginner in dancing to extremely proficient thanks to Mary’s simple teaching style and her enthusiasm.  It’s contagious!!

Great class, fun, hands on, loved it!

This is amazing opportunity for anyone looking to further their education or even just to try something new that they would otherwise be unable to.  Overall excellent experience, and great instruction.

Sammy was an excellent teacher! Very informative used hands on! Big class but felt like one on one attention.

Dianne has all the attributes of a perfect teacher – knowledgeable, patient and kind.  I would recommend that anyone with even a fleeting interest in learning to knit take Dianne’s class.  In fact, even advance knitter would likely learn something new.

After trying unsuccessfully many times before to learb to knit, Dianne finally made it click.  I learned several knitting stitches and ended up with a finished project.

Loved Lorna’s personality she made the class fun!

The course is well polished, books, notebooks, tabs, and everything in between is provided, including a backpack to carry it all. One stop shopping. Highly recommended.

Great time, learned lots of new techniques.

Mary Kate helped me solidify parts of my game which were shaky and inconsistent.

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