Reviews
Enthusiastic instructors sharing lots of insightful ideas about how to teach and learn effectively. I highly recommend all teachers take this course and reflect on their own teaching.
Amazing course. I have learned many ways of versatile teaching strategies. It opened up a whole new prospect in my mind, how to strategies my lessons and make my students independent learners.
Excellent. My only regret is that it was too short and not at a more advanced level. I have learned an immeasurable amount of new techniques and insights that I will apply to me teaching.
Great course! I'm not a teacher, but I have enjoyed it very much. I found it helpful for lifelong learning and supporting my young nephew learning. Thanks so much to the three teachers.
