Hi Karin,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
It sounds like you feel the classes haven’t changed or evolved, and we totally understand how that can be a bit frustrating if you're looking for something new or different. We always strive to improve and adapt our offerings to meet the needs of our students, and feedback like yours is really valuable in helping us do that. If you have any specific suggestions on what you'd like to see improved or changed in the classes, please feel free to share! We're always open to hearing ideas that could enhance the experience for everyone.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We hope to continue providing you with the best possible learning experience!
Kind regards,
Charmaine
