I discovered Adult Education a couple of years after arriving in the UK through a friend who taught French. I was hooked; I never looked back and committed my career to provide learning to everybody irrelevant of age, social background, faith. On occasions, I have made a big change in people’s lives and for me this has been the most rewarding aspect. Moreover, I just love teaching. This is a passion. I consider that as a tutor you should always evolve. I constantly apply this idea while preparing for this course, with the aim to provide the best learning environment possible.
Please note: We reserve the right to change our tutors from those advertised. This happens rarely, but if it does, we are unable to refund fees due to this. Our tutors may have different teaching styles; however we guarantee a consistent quality of teaching in all our courses.
