The students thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was great for them to try something new, and some of the higher level students really enjoyed picking up some new vocabulary which they wouldn’t ordinarily use, which is always fun!… The lesson had much more structure than at other centres, and it was really nice to see the instructor pointing out specific challenges to meet the individual levels & interests of the students in the group.

The groups are all enjoying the sessions with you, and even I, in the short time that I have been coming to the centre, have seen a definite improvement in the strength and technique of the students.
