Testimonials

  • Jazzmere

    Digital Arts and Animation student

    The hands-on approach of the YaizY classes is what I enjoy, especially learning new things about using Photoshop

  • Carlos

    Computer Science II student

    The step-by-step learning with small projects at YaizY is my favorite part. It helps new coders learn and get a feel for Python. Many see Python or coding as a hard thing to learn. While it may be tricky, YaizY helps with getting a feel for it

  • Justin

    Computer Science II student

    I appreciate the detailed and understanding approach of the lessons. Although I am a slow learner, the pace and visuals presented enable me to learn as effectively as someone who is a fast learner with a high IQ.
