"Bert's attitude! He's very approachable, funny and keeps trading light-hearted. I tend to be a night owl, so coming to class in the mornings might be a difficult task for myself. But under Bert's fun teachings, I was awake, eager and therefore absorbed his material much better! In addition to a great personality, his teachings was very easy to understand and it was fantastic that he gave us some extra insights on the market!"
