"I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Jeremiah Fleming. Jeremiah organized workshops at my school for both (international) students and a number of teachers.
Observing Jeremiah I am struck by the enthusiasm with which he approaches his work. In his interaction with others his enthusiasm is contagious and his empathy allows him to connect with the participants in a manner which increases the effectiveness of his workshops even more. Jeremiah has a brilliant sense of humor and has a way with words that allows him to cash in this wit for a healthy dose of laughter. Jeremiah is a true professional, very knowledgeable about his subject matter and he possesses the creativity to form this into effective knowledge transfer. In short, Jeremiah is incredibly inspiring and I hope to work with him in the future."
