“The proudest moment this year was when my pupils managed to pass their examination. They were all very nervous but managed to make it through. The course is definitely not easy and entails a lot of hard work, long hours and a fair share of sweat and tears. Nevertheless, in the end it was a pleasure to see the pupils’ successes and improvement!”
