"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."
