To Whom It May Concern:

 

We are writing to say that although we were not looking forward to taking our Serve Safe class, Dave made it totally bearable and actually interesting.  We were three women, aged 22, 42 and 50.  We learned how important it is to keep your hands clean, to keep sick employees out of the kitchen and to store and cool our foods properly.  

If you have to take this class, take it with Dave.

A Caterer in Roanoke VA says,

You made the class so enjoyable and understanding.  It was great!  Thanks for doing such a good job for us.

A Chef in Virginia says,

Thank you for your time and effort in aiding me with certification; your study guide and "class"  was instructive, well formulated and executed, and informative.  I wish that I had you 15 yrs ago for my culinary school education.  I will suggest others to utilize your services in the future for certification needs.

A Retirement Dietary Healthcare Team says,

I just wanted to let you know how glad we all were we had YOU for our instructor. You truly made it easy - plus, you were very helpful showing us how to create trigger words and phrases to help us remember exactly which symptoms and sources went with which diseases < I was truly scared about that part. You also encouraged us to relax and have faith in ourselves, which helped all of us, even old "Maybe I Know It" me. I think without your encouragement I would have been so nervous I would have frozen. We all agreed - You were a GREAT instructor.

Below I will list the things we found to be most helpful.

Your manner of presentation was very relaxed and thorough - which caused us to feel confident in you as an instructor. We also felt you enjoyed your work and had your heart into it; you wanted to help us succeed - you were not trying to rush us through the lesson with no concern for our success or failure.
You afforded us the luxury of answering our questions in a very respectful and accommodating manner.
You are very knowledgeable about the subject matter and presented it competently.
Your constant encouragement was a great source of help for all of us.
You spoke clearly and was easy to understand.

I'm sure there are many more things we could say, but these are the things that come to mind easily.

I know for me, your relaxed and encouraging manner and helpfulness were by far the most outstanding attributes; these are the things that set you above the other guys. Anyone can know the subject matter and speak clearly, but it is having your heart in your work and caring about your students' success that sets you apart and makes you a GREAT instructor.

From the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU.

Komang a Restaurant Operator says,

Thanks so much for all your help with the class and test the other day! That was really awesome that you were willing to do it on a holiday when I had the day off.  I am really glad to have it over with.  You were a pleasure to work with and I will send anyone else I know who needs to take the class your way.  Thanks again for everything!

Nancy a school dietary worker says,

DAVE ROBINSON IS AN EXCELLENT PROCTOR.  HE MAKES IT WHERE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IT SO EASY.  I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM.  AGAIN, THANKS DAVE

Gregg a Director of Dining Services says,

Thanks for everything. Everyone was impressed with the way you taught the material.  Thanks again!

Kim a Dietary Worker says,

"I attribute my good grade to my Instructor, David Robinson.  He made the class interesting and fun.  His teaching technique really worked in helping to remember all the diseases and symptoms."

Samantha a Server in Healthcare says,

Bethney a nurse in Virginia says,

"Dave went over everything very well in a way to understand it, and helped me remember it. He is a great teacher"

Elana a nurse in Virginia says,

"Dave is an amazing teacher! The acronyms he used helped us remember the hard stuff in regards to a food borne illness.  I hope to be recertified by him in 5 years.  He also has a great sense of humor"

Hannah a Med Tech says,

"Dave's teaching is fun and engaging.  I enjoyed the class and learned alot!"

 Tammy a School Cafe Manager says,

I wanted to thank you for your time, patience and guidance on my taking your course .  I have never taken this course before and after I spoke with you and had your reassurance that all would work out, you are exactly right, but I could not have been successful without your expertise in the field.  When I called several other instructors to get their help, none of them returned my calls as efficiently and promptly as you did.  You gave me step by step instructions, timeframes, etc.  and everything turned out to be just like you said.  You are amazing and deserve a big fat raise and a pat on the back.      Again, thank you so much for your complete guidance, patience and assistance with my taking the class - you are nothing more than terrific. 

Connie, a restaurant operator says,

Thank you so much for making the sign up and everything else go smoothly!!! Saves me alot of headaches!
 
Sue, an Operator says,
 
The Servsafe study guide and quizzes you sent a few weeks earlier gave me a good head start the class and exam.   The power point, discussion and memory cues you brought to class made it easy.  I will definitely let my trade group members know about your class.   Thanks.
 
Diane, a Operator says,
 
Thank you very much.
You made the whole process very easy.
Anyone looking for getting certified I will definitely send your way.
