Feedback for Online Courses:

The first course has had some amazing feedback with 100+ teachers signing up and some completing already.

‘I have completed this course this weekend and really enjoyed myself. I brushed up on some techniques I already knew, and can now see some new ideas for them. I really enjoyed the new techniques that I had shied away from before, as I thought they would be too tricky! The tutorial videos are very clear with great demos. Can’t wait to experiment more.’

‘Wow, what a real treat your course is. AMAZING work. Would be super for any teacher, experienced or NQT. And a great place to share ideas and create a bank of ideas. You are offering so many resources for the cost of the course. An absolute bargain at that price. I have thoroughly enjoyed working through the course.’
