Bio
Kendra Quinn
Alex Granquist is an excellent employee and Instructor. He worked for me during the summer of 2021 conducting day-camps and workshops teaching K-6th grade kids engineering with LEGOs. This job is challenging and ever-changing. Alex rose to each challenge and provided amazing classes that the kids loved! As an employee Alex was reliable, organized, and always prepared. He was always consciences about doing a good job. These characteristics were key to success since he worked in a different city than I did. It was great to know that the class was in good hands since I often couldn't be in there in person. As an Instructor Alex was clear and precise in his concept explanations and build demonstrations. He really thought about what and how he was gong to be presenting. With the kids, he was ever patient and compassionate. Alex always wanted to ensure each student's needs were met. Additionally, Alex was great at communicating with the parents before and after his classes. For all the reasons stated above, I would hire Alex again in an instant. Any employer would be lucky to have him on their team.
