Very interesting to listen and easy to understand listeners
Very interesting to listen and easy to understand the speech, even if you’re not native English speaker.
Very interesting and well presented
Listening to Dr. Lillian C. talk about Klimt’s work was incredibly delightful. We learned a lot and she’s very knowledgeable and well-spoken, but our favourite part was when she said “Now for some absolute bangers!” Haha Lovely! Thank you very much.

New ideas on Viking history and meaning
Excellent presentation that clarified misunderstandings about “Viking” history. Learned a lot! Very enjoyable presentation. Great speaker!
Dr Lilians passion for history is both knowledgeable and Engaging
Last year, I enrolled in Dr. Lilian’s Viking course, and I was immediately captivated by her passion for the subject. It’s not just the information she imparts; it’s how she delves into the material, providing in-depth explanations. Since then, I’ve continued to enjoy Dr. Lilian’s courses. Currently, I’m participating in her “England through the Ages” course. Although this isn’t her favorite historical topic, she has meticulously researched and crafted an outstanding course. Dr. Lilian’s dedication shines through, making the learning experience both enjoyable and informative.
Brillant!
I have watched since her first tour and I have always enjoyed every presentation.
Her academy lectures are always well researched , clear power point, enthusiastically presented and so enjoyable.
I have learned and discovered so much with her!
I love her humor, openness to suggestions from us for additional lectures and her being always ready to answer additional questions!
What a gift for all of us!
Thanks Lillian!
I take and re take classes with her just because my brain needs the food.
I told you before…you are the best appreciated by so many!
