Testimonials

"Immediately noticed his willingness and ability to learn and adapt in our small company operating in an ever-changing industry, which is rare and imperative to the functioning of our company. He has taken on many tasks from consulting prospective clients, operating a sales team, and technical design of solar systems. We would gladly hire Nick back for any number of positions."

Morgan Zehrung

Forecast Solar LLC

"I was amazed by Nick's ability to learn and improve himself as a teacher. Although he had taught ESL before, he had never taught adult students or the IELTS. He immediately went to work taking IETLS training classes, studying adult teaching techniques, and continually asking for feedback and help from us. It turned him into one of our best teachers."

Hien Duc Nguyen

Harford English

"Nick made the challenging process of creating a website fun. I actually looked forward to working on the website because he made it so easy and such a collaborative process by listening to my ideas and giving great suggestions. I am beyond pleased with the end result that immediately boosted our enrollment numbers."

Emily Berchier

Web Design

"After spending $2500 for a company to develop our website, we were underwhelmed by the end result. That’s when Nick took it upon himself to redo the entire website, add interactive quizzes, create videos, and more. He did a way better job than I ever imagined."
