Elena is an excellent trainer - she has extensive knowledge and presents it in a very clear and accessible manner, providing numerous practical examples drawn from her vast experience. I appreciated the balance between the lecture portion and the practical exercises - the abundance of exercises allowed for better contextualization of the acquired knowledge and skills and helped verify whether we had correctly understood the content. The verification after each exercise also allowed for asking questions and resolving doubts in real-time.
