    Kathy Adams Clark did a great job of teaching an online photography class. I wanted to wait until in person classes start again, being incredibly ADHD(really) but not knowing when that will possibly be, I decided to try this. Clark was very thorough in her explanations, and even sent a recording of the class afterwards. I would for sure take another class with her if in person doesn't start up again (She's in TX, I am in CA)

    Kathy breaks it all down simply, makes it all easy to understand. I feel like I learned WAY more than I had expected to from a "beginner" course! Brought 2 friends with me, and they feel the same way. Kathy has a great speaking voice, so she's very easy to listen to. She is very organized, stays on track and finishes on time as well. We are looking forward to taking more courses with her!! Thank you !! Cheryl Kiser Jones Creek, Tx
