Dirk has an obvious passion for teaching and it shows with
his lessons and the amount of time he spends preparing for
them. He could have gotten through our cohorts with doing
much less, but then he wouldn't have been happy with the
results. He's eager to learn and has a strong thirst for
knowledge, don't be surprised to hear him getting into
in-depth discussions with physics for example.
Dirk is an excellent mentor and a knowledgeable instructor
who provides comprehensive lessons, and meticulous
one-on-one help. With each lesson his ability to engage the
class improved, and when I wanted to pursue anything
beyond the scope of the class he provided the mentorship
necessary for me to confidently venture into a new
language or technology.
