What our students say
My teacher is an amazing teacher and makes the subject so fun and enjoyable to learn.
I enjoyed Biology because of the small classes, the opportunities to learn in a different environment. The teachers really focus on getting everything across to students until they are 100% sure with the topic.
Although I originally chose this subject to 'fill a gap', I came to like and understand more about the subject. My teacher was always willing to help me in his spare time.
