I would say we need more blinds up in the room, The sun coming through made it difficult to see the tv with the reflection. But overall I am very happy with how the course has been so far.

Uzma has been really helpful with my learning of the course and helping me understand different values of the course. She has helped bring out my confidence to speak during lesson and answer questions by making the learning environment feel comfortable and non judgmental. She also gives clear instructions and a clear understanding of the lesson which makes learning a lot easier
