What I like about the teachers at èƵ
A crucial part of my success was the respectful relationships I had with my teachers. They worked extremely hard for me and they always wanted to get the best out of all of us. They were very knowledgeable and passionate in their subject areas, they were friendly and supportive, and I had the sense that they genuinely cared about me. My teachers were able to cater for the different learning styles students had and they could usually tell if you needed a bit more support or if you required some extension work for a greater challenge. They did their best to make classes engaging and to use different tools and methods to keep lessons interesting. I’m grateful for all the work all my teachers did to support and challenge me over the years. I owe them a lot!
