Recommendation from a Student
“Leslie was one of my teachers while I was a student at Conestoga College. I found Leslie to be a great help, and understanding of my needs and concerns.
Our class had a wide variety of students with knowledge of computers ranging from very little or nil, to others that had extensive use on a computer already. Leslie also spent time apart from her teaching to help me understand and operate the Dragon Voice Activated program.”
