Grand Review Group Session

CJ is an amazing instructor! When he calls himself an optical nerd he means it. He is so excited and enthusiastic about the material he is teaching that you get excited too. I have been in optics over five years and the way he explained things to me finally made them click! The classes have a great layout and were a lot of fun, the daily quizzes really lock in the information. You cannot go wrong by studying with Optical Nerd!
