NEW!

I’ve created an app where you can gain access to exclusive content for all of my courses. It’s still a work in progress (as of Q3 2022) It is free to use and will allow you to watch short videos on different topics and activities that will boost your learning and supplement the in-class materials if you are taking on of my courses. I am not able to collect any personal information about you via this app, no data is stored unless you enter ‘class notes’ or ‘comments’ but it is never linked to your account.

You can access it on any device, iPhone, Android phone, laptop or desktop computer with the QR code below (some phones don’t play nice) or, from the link below (type it into your browser). Finally, if you are still having issues, I can txt or email you a link. Email me at hobstar@protonmail.com or visit my site for the link as well http://www.hobstar.io

I’d love feedback on your experiences and even any testimonials that you would be willing to provide.
