What do people say about this course?

It was just so amazing to be part of this course, this is my first experience and I must say that as a teacher and as a learner I felt really supported. The knowledge you shared with us is so useful and challenging. Everybody taking this course was so kind and willing to share with others, thank you for all the resources and all the comments and feedback. I think now I feel even more proud of being part of a network of people who care for their learners, it makes me desire to be the best teacher I can be and keep learning to achieve it.
