Mostly based on the teacher. She was very knowledgeable, open to all questions, added tips when we were searching for the queens, and let everone work at the pace they felt most comfortable when we were suited up.

Have taken several classes and even taught a few as well ! Class was very dry not engaging . Instructor read to us from the overhead screen. Never were we asked about our reason for the class or what we were expecting from the class .
