passion for teaching & THE INDUSTRY

I had the feeling of being really cared for and really valued. Having worked on my own for so long, this has made me feel like we are part of something bigger. Having other people to inspire me. Equally with Amanda, just knowing that they are there holding our hands; it’s really good for confidence. The level of support.
