I realize that children need to know their basic concepts so that they can develop understanding of the content of the curriculum.

Now I can help the learners from our poorer areas to verbalize for themselves… they are becoming more confident and starting to love their educational journey.

I had an idea what the course would be like, but it was much more than what I had expected.

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.

This is an excellent programme that can benefit any learner or educator.

Metro Central (2013): Training

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.
