Testimonials
"I had the opportunity to work with Penelope Bellegarde on a 5-day Executive program with a group of 15 international participants.
Penelope is a rigorous, conscientious person who is highly invested in the teaching she delivers.
She is very attentive to the participants’ learning needs and outcomes. I can highly recommend Penelope as a speaker and a teacher of the highest quality."
Natasha Bibi-Derenne
"Penelope Bellegarde gave a Machine Learning course to Master 2 students, in the Information System Master programme. This course, which was highly applicative while reviewing the theoretical aspects of the discipline, was very much appreciated by the students. They were confronted with the same difficulties they will encounter in the workplace and were able to find solutions to them. This course outline is totally in line with the expectations of companies on the skills of our future graduates. Thank you very much Penelope for your involvement and your pedagogy."
