Student Testimonial
“Thank you for my diploma of Family History. At age seventy-two and an immigrant, I proudly hang it on my wall. I enjoyed my course and the school handled it very professionally. My special thanks go to Mr. Michael Mirolla, an exceptional tutor and human being, who had had the patience to read and correct my manuscript. He professionally pointed out my writing faults and praised me for my merits. He is an excellent tutor and deserves recognition.”
