“ The instructor, Matthew Crabtree, has been highly responsive and amenable to answering all manner of questions - never losing patience, always willing to repeat something a different way, and answering the questions with a high level of energy and enthusiasm as though your question were the first he’s answered. This ability is so important when you’re a new student to a topic and don’t have the context or background on which to hang the knowledge (ie you don’t have prior knowledge on which to build). Matthew Crabtree is skilled at taking a total novice and setting them within the knowledge in a way that allows them to get their footing. His engagement with the material, the students and the questions never flagged. ”

“ I enjoyed this class immensely, simply because you made it as easy as possible to understand this whole new world of stock options. I enrolled in this course because I wanted to learn more about investing my stock shares, and found another avenue altogether. Thank you very much, Mark. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. ”

“ Mark has been a great instructor! His real life experiences gave credibility to the whole course. His examples, his warnings, and his lists of reference materials truly helped build my interest and confidence in options trading. I am excited, as he predicted, to be involved in this aspect of investing. ”

“ I absolutely love your teaching method, you're not boring, your lessons stay on track without ever becoming monotonous - which is a rare find! Each lesson left me with a notebook full of answers to questions I had from the previous lesson, and many small nuggets of wisdom to tuck away for future application and a notebook full of questions that left me looking forward to the next lesson - I loved it! ”

“ Mr. Quinn is very knowledgeable about stock options, yet he has the ability to explain them to novices like me in such a way that I can understand them. This course was exactly what I wanted; it provided an understanding of the options tools as well as clear explanations of the risks and pitfalls with options. Mr. Quinn introduced tools that I intend to use in my further exploration of stock options. A great course! ”

“ I absolutely loved this course!!! The instructor's explanations with supporting examples was crucial for me. This can quickly become a complicated subject, but, the instructor's instructional material layout was perfect. I can only hope that Mark chooses to do an advanced options course some day too! ”

“ Great course. Tons of information given but in a simple and clear manner. Lots of examples to help illustrate the concepts. Good basic class to help understand the basics and the many different terms and strategies. Definitely recommend. ”

“ This course more than exceeded my expectations. The instructor had a refreshing style of writing that seemed so natural. I enjoyed that he put his own investing experiences into the course. I especially appreciated all the supplementary material he provided. He presented the information in a well organized way, making sure not to throw in advanced concepts into the beginning so we can build on our knowledge. This might be the first class I thoroughly enjoyed and wanted to read all the lessons. Keep up the good work. ”

“ Mark Quinn is an outstanding teacher. He is professional, quite knowledgeable, and very helpful. He has a way of transforming even the most abstract material into concrete and enjoyable lessons. As a student, I found his sense of organization most beneficial. Finally, his sense of humor is delightful. I recommend this class to anyone who is interested in successful investing. I would love to take his advanced class. ”

“ I highly recommend this course. The material is excellent and Mark is a very supportive, knowledgeable teacher. I particularly enjoyed the class discussions. Mark is very responsive to the students' questions and has shared many real life examples of options strategies that have worked for experienced options traders. His supplemental material breathes life to a difficult subject. His material is well organized and his assignments encourage the student to gain trading experience through paper trading, applying the options strategies we learned in class. What an excellent teacher! I cannot say enough good things about the class. I am recommending this class to all my friends who are interested in options trading. ”

“ I have been trading options for years but have only been buying calls and puts. I took this course to see if it would expand my knowledge and it definitely did. There were a lot of basic things that I learned that no one had ever explained before. Also, I got a better handle on the concept of selling options and of advanced strategies which have always been confusing to me. I greatly appreciated Mark's style of explaining things. He made complex things seem easier to understand. I would DEFINITELY recommend this course to others...I've never had an instructor make such great use of the discussion area. There was lots of extra info posted there - which was AWESOME! I wish I had taken this course when I first began trading. Thank you so much! ”
