As a fellow educator and presenter, I was immensely impressed with Alper’s ability to engage his audience. He brings an enthusiasm and passion to his work all too often lacking among his peers. He presents in an informative yet entertaining way. Most importantly, he connects with his audience and motivates them to act as a result of his instruction. The root of instruct is “to build” and that is exactly what Alper does. He builds his audience’s knowledge, skills, and attitudes to enable them to act for themselves. Everyone feels capable and eager after his instruction. I would consider myself lucky to work with him or learn from him in any context.
