Course format
Classroom format
High confidence · Best fit for Hardcore Learner
In-person hospitality and airline classes are polarizing: many call her a nightmare who locks doors and dumps teaching on students, while supporters say she prepares students for the real industry.
Main concern
Rude treatment, favoritism, locked doors, and overwhelming homework dominate student warnings.
What students said
“PLEASE, help yourself and DO NOT take her class unless you must have to.”
“If you take her, be prepared to teach yourself and do loads of homework every day.”
“She has an incredible wealth of knowledge and brings real life experiences into the lectures.”
Remote format
Low confidence · Best fit for Self Taught Pro
Single online review calls her a bad OCC instructor and questions low-rating patterns without detailing course structure.
Main concern
Very low quality rating and no take-again support from the only online review.
What students said
“Another case of BAD OCC instructor - so many it is pathetic.”
Exam style
Exams can be straightforward with notes, but quizzes and tests often track textbook reading rather than lectures.
Assessment risk
Standard
48/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person exams reward note-taking and textbook study; weekly mini tests and hard quizzes are common.
“You do need to take notes for her exams. Really easy if you do, really hard if not.”
“Exams are Straight Forward”
“Bases her quizzes and tests off textbooks.”
The single online review does not describe exam format or proctoring.
