Our versatile teachers bring new ideas and projects every week to the classes we teach. We have a lot of hands-on work to do and a wonderful low teacher-student ratio. Each teacher is an experienced specialist and adept community builder. We each embody a 'character' in our lessons, becoming our magical selves by name. Monsieur Le Jardin and Mr Luther create their own persona when engaged in the lessons with the children, relevant to the lessons they teach.
