Our teacher Andila is very understanding, supportive and is very good at teaching and explaining everything to us in a way where we can understand it, as we are a multi-cultural class. Having to juggle your work, family and my kids sports commitments and then on top of that my studies is hard. My teacher is the ultimate saviour to where l am at now and to be finished and qualified in a couple of months. This will be a class I will never forget.
