📍 My lessons:
I believe that learning should be enjoyable while real-world relevant. I use a wide variety of resources, including bespoke interactive PowerPoint presentations, rather than simply relying on dull textbooks alone! Our lessons will feature a learning so you know what to expect. Together, we will review your progress at the end of each lesson (or topic), ensuring you stay on track with your goals.
