Matt delivered our Infusing Rich Vocabulary Course as an in-person event on this school's training day.

Matt was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. It is always great to have a workshop probationer who is actually using the practices being covered in the session. he provided some good advice on how we can approach things here. I would rate my booking as excellent.
