What some of our students have said about the courses recently:
‘This beginners class taught by Claudia was excellent. It focused on Emma's format of teaching basic rules, pronunciation and syntax using an easily understood and memorable process. I will definitely sign up in the near future for the next level class.’
‘I have found both the online OnTrack and the 100% self study lessons extremely valuable in developing my knowledge, understanding and confidence. ‘
‘Well-prepared material; easy to follow. Lots of helpful repetition that enables complex concepts to "stick".’
