What Our Students Say
Real experiences from Aviron graduates and current students
"I was a mechanic student for 13 months, and I can safely say that Russell and Thomas are two of the finest mechanic teachers you'll ever meet. I've never felt so prepared to work in a field. These men are legendary in their own right and deserve all the admiration!"
Brennan Gerchicoff
Aviron Student
"If you have a great teacher who is kind, affable, knowledgeable, and helpful, then you are a lucky person. Mr. Kuiyan Xu has all these qualities and is a great choice to learn something creative. I was stuck with drawing descriptions, and I contacted him. He helped me tremendously. He knows how to conduct lessons and make learners grasp concepts quickly. I liked his methodology—how he first involved the learner, made them observe, and describe a drawing. Thank you!"
Harry Kailey
Aviron Student
"Special thanks to Mr. Ashraf Malaty, who taught me very well during my studies in Industrial Drafting. He is very experienced, knowledgeable, and patient. His behavior and skills are very impressive. I am so lucky to have a wonderful teacher like him."
