Testimonials about my work helping course builders

“Alexandra is a MACHINE. She’s been a go-to resource for course creators in the Write of Passage community and was Head TA for Maven’s course accelerator, where she drove operations, and coached entrepreneurs and creators on everything from how to differentiate and structure a course, to the intricate details of designing effective learning sessions and prompts. Alexandra’s great energy and organizational skills make her an excellent facilitator and course building coach. I’m a huge fan of hers.”

—Christine Carillo, Executive Coach for CEOs & Entrepreneur, runs a course called The 20 Hour CEO

"Alexandra was Head TA when I took Maven's course on How to Build a Cohort-Based Course. From that, my partner Chris and I launched the Newsletter Launchpad in which Alexandra continued to help us and advise us even after we launched it. 

I also had the opportunity to learn from Alexandra's Mentor sessions in David Perell's Write of Passage course (the top online course for writing - they get hundreds of applications for mentor spots).  She's great at translating learning principles into easy-to-understand mental models. She's invested in those she works with and always goes the extra mile to make sure you feel happy and confident about your course."
