It was a weekend to remember… I had enough time to make plans for things at home. Thank you, it was a joy to listen to someone so passionate about his work.

I love the programme. I was not aware of how to introduce a concept … . If I could reverse my years in teaching, I bet I would have produced mathematicians, scientists and doctors.

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.

Very informative. Well planned. Well organised. Based on CAPS. Good intervention programme.

For me the most effective aspect was the basic teaching model.  When I implemented the model I found that my learners were more focussed when I followed the steps of the model.
