What Our Students Say

I found a safe space to be myself, I feel comfortable with my classmates and tutor, this is my third year and I don’t remember one day that I wouldn’t have wanted to come to the class. The environment, classmates, tutor, study and exercises (all together) facilitated (and still are facilitating) my personal growth, a better understanding of myself and acceptance. This journey made me flourish. It is helping me to fulfill my purpose, keeping my life balanced, connected with reality and people.

Maria

Really like my tutor, I find them to be direct, warm, professional and knowledgeable. They are helpful in asking me if I need any additional support. I find their turnaround with homework very efficient and their feedback is clear and helpful.

Simon

I love how open and honest and supportive everyone is. I appreciate the tutor giving strong and clear instruction for the written work and the skills practice. Also that the work set is marked quickly, so I know where I stand.
