10 hour virtual course: Absolutely thrilled to have participated in such an amazing virtual course. My tutor, Michelle Benson,... has made this online experience so unbelievably enjoyable and insightful. I can't express in words how informative and engaging this course was overall, so much was achieved in just 2 (3.5hr) lessons. I met an amazing bunch of people through this course and also learned so much about myself and my desire to teach. This 10 hour course was eye-opening to say the least, it made learning feel like a life-long and inspiring journey.read more
