Absolutely fantastic! I loved my private class with Jingbo. She is fun, personable, and extremely knowledgable. Jingbo is a Canadian National Barista Competition judge so she teaches the global standard in barista skills and proper technique used by coffee professionals around the world. She tailors the class to your personal goals, what you want to learn specifically, and answers all your questions! It was an honour to be taught by her one-on-one and I highly recommend her class.

I really enjoyed the class and highly recommend it! If you want to learn some basic skills, this is a great one. It was very informative and always nice to have some hands on experience. Jingbo is a very good and patient instructor and really taught us a lot. I learnt a lot more than I expected during the 4 hour class. I was interested in learning some basic skills so I can make something nice for myself at home. After the class, I have confidence that I can make something decent at home now.
Again, thanks Jingbo for spending the time with us.
