Cassie is a great teacher and very understanding and if you need more explaining on a certain topic or don’t understand something 100% she will go over the information again and ask you what parts do you not understand so she can word it differently but Cassie will never leave you hanging if you don’t understand something and she is always happy to answer any questions or help you in any topic you may need help on!
