Technical Consultant, Contract Technical Instructor - David Slimp - References and Comments

References and Comments

I pride myself on being able to teach a great class! Having real world experience in the courses I teach helps to ensure that students not only understand the concepts but come away with a practical working knowledge, even if the courseware or machines have glitches. Seeing the lights flash on for each person in class makes it all worth while!

But you don't have to take my word for it, below are both peer recommendations and student comments I have recieved during my years as an instructor.

Peer Recommendations

To whom it may concern:
David Slimp worked with me for several years when I was the Training Manager at Tech Now, in Austin, Texas. He is a very experienced programmer and did a consistently excellent job teaching programming and Solaris system administration. I highly recommend him as an instructor or consultant.

To Whom It May Concern:

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing this letter to highly recommend that if you have the opportunity to employ David Slimp, you take it. David was a contract instructor for me when I owned Three-Sixteen Technical Services, Inc. He also developed custom courseware. His work was excellent, his interaction with our clients was impeccable, and he was very organized and timely in his delivery of work.

Student Comments

"DAVID IS GREAT! Excellent Instructor. Answered all questions to everyone's satisfaction. Right amount of help in labs. Also gave programming tips all through class. Class had very different skill levels, he handled this very well. I enjoyed the class and had fun too!" --Brian, Tivoli Systems

"I can't say enough. Excellent communicator! Very well organized. Very careful to answer each question completely. Took good care of each individual student Everyone learned, whether experienced or novice. Having taught a lot of courses myself, I recognize his preformance was right on! Obviously comes with years of valuable experience which he shared very effectively. thanks!" --Fran, Dell

"David Slimp effectively conveyed the information throughout the course. Actually that's an understatement. For 5 days of class and hours of examples on the board, David did not skip a beat. Every example was prepared ahead of time so that everything that made it to the whiteboard was written only once without hesitation. Never have I seen an instructor so knowledgeable and prepared for a subject" --Derek, 3M

"David made this class very enjoyable. He is very good at teaching and can explain objectives/theory even to my level. BEST instructor I have ever had based on knowledge, presentation, and concern that we understood. Thanks, David!" --Janice, IRS

"Very good! Most of the 10's on the previous page are due to the high level of instruction provided! Good teacher." --Mark, US Courts

"Instructor is the most important factor to make training class useful or not. I have taken many trainings at many different location and this class was the best as material/learning point of view. David rank top.. in delivering the material, command on the topic, being available for help. I like the way he presented the Labs. that pushes student to think and also not leave them unattended." -- SunEd Reg# 789633
