Karin Bustillos
The school was very close to the tube and easy to locate. Heather made everyone feel very welcome and relaxed straight from the start of the course and was an excellent trainer.
I thoroughly enjoyed all elements of the course and the sessions were well structured and organised. Heather was always on hand to give help and advice whenever needed.
I really enjoyed the part when Heather explained the methods of teaching English and then having the chance to put this into practice infront of the other trainees.
Susan Horne
