Here are just some reviews from our learners:
"Having achieved my NCFE level 2 photography with Chris as the tutor, I was very struck with her relaxed teaching methods. She led the class with skill, patience and understanding, guiding her students and allowing them to achieve the skills and experience needed to further their own personal goals at the same time as reaching a level of competence." |
“I do want to thank you so very much for your course delivery, your teaching material was very clear and your demonstrations were so easy to follow… I am so very grateful to have been involved in your course and to now have new things to learn into the future.“ |
