  -> muchas gracias Gilberto!

neutral  Jennifer Levey: If anyone said to me that I had a 'heterogeneous background' (which might be true, scientifically speaking) I'd burst out laughing. This is not English as she is spoke.

  -> have it your non-heterogeneous way

agree  Ramon Somoza: Sorry, mediatrix, but "heterogeneous" is not Wide-ranging". Pls. check Webster's.

Clarification: 'perfil de usuario' does not refer here to the profile of an individual person who might be interested in the course. It refers to the type/category of person who might be interested. As in, I want to teach the 'under-fives', for example.
