In my personal opinion, I think this is a really way to escape from this confuse historic moment of our life.This experience has brought joy and brightness.
Sara from Italy / May 2020
Our teacher, Amanda, has clearly and comprehensively explained to us different parts of the exam, how to handle them and how to practice them. She also gave each of us the chance to do practical exercises even in the classroom giving valuable feedback to improve. She also provided us useful study material.
