I’m a 20+ year veteran of entrepreneurship and currently the co-founder of three separate companies. I have extensive business management, development, marketing planning, strategy, and execution experience. I’ve been an instructor for Tamwood for about four years and was the first instructor for both the Business Management and Digital Marketing programs.
Why do you recommend it?
As one of the instructors, I’m biased but I can particularly say that the students seem to learn a lot through the practical learning experience they receive, from instructors who have extensive industry experience. We all strive to create an enjoyable and comprehensive learning environment.
