Testimonials

"I found that the classroom environment was very nice and calming because before I started I was very nervous and wary and I felt at ease with you. The opportunities you have given us to share and express our experiences has made it very insightful and I have learnt about different ways of teaching and learning through these conversations. Your input and delivery has been informative and very easy for me to understand. Thank you for making me feel safe and like I'm apart of a team."

"It was a pleasure to be in the teaching assistant course throughout the week, delivered by you. I found it very useful and eye-opening. I learnt a lot about the schools in the UK. Your way of engaging the class and delivering the topics was found welcoming and professional. I thank you for your time and dedication to the class and wish you health and success."

"I like the curriculum being taught, as well as the quantity of information I retained and learned from this cause concerning Childcare and safeguarding. This will be useful in the future for work and other jobs such as teaching and working in schools. The tutor (Victoria) was fantastic, and I appreciated her teaching a lot. She demonstrated passion and excitement, and there was nothing more to be said. I loved the ambiance and her amazing teaching skills, and the facilities and resources were also amazing. I am looking forward for the next week training session, hopefully it will also beneficial for me in my future career."

The teaching was very good and informative whilst also being entertaining at getting the class involved and working as a team to learn the modules. The presentation slides were very good and easy to read and learn from. Rusidha taught us very well, as well as including some real life experiences to help better explain some of the modules. The classroom was air conditioned at a comfortable temperature for learning. Overall, the learning sessions were informative and made interesting for all of us and her teaching style and methods made the modules easy to learn and to pass the quizzes at the end. I very much recommend her as a tutor for future courses.

I found the training very useful and learnt some new skills in Business accounting and refreshed my knowledge in other subjects. Rusidha was very engaging and delivered the training in a professional manner. She was very approachable and included the whole class in any discussions. She was able to answer any questions anyone had and if she was not sure she was able to signpost. I have no suggestions for the way she can improve as I was very happy with her style of teaching.
