Katharine said: I loved Margaret she is so charismatic and easy to understand. The location was good as it was only a short walk from my work.

Elizabeth said: I enjoyed learning how to communicate using sign language. The tutor was very attentive and made sure was following. A couple of students were annoying in that they would talk sometimes, whereas for me part of the learning includes trying to understand the reality of deaf people. Fast track was hard work with a lot to learn in a short time, but very practical. Thank you Matt !
