"My first term learning on Laura's History of Art class. A move out of my comfort zone, but I am loving the class - learning lots of new information and the group is friendly. Laura challenges our perception of art and enables our critical appraisal."

— Cathryn (History of Art)
" Italian improvers provides regular fun, yet challenging lessons with an encouraging group of fellow students. Laura introduces a wide variety of topics to explore, bringing Italy, its language, geography and culture to life through a flexible approach to conversations, reading and introducing new vocabulary. It's wonderful how much you can learn when you are enjoying yourself, in an environment where you feel comfortable to make mistakes"

Christine (Italian Improvers)
"I really enjoy the Improvers Italian class because it pushes me to use the language in real conversations. The group is friendly and supportive, and it feels great to be surrounded by people who are at a similar level and eager to learn."

Diana (Italian Improvers)
"I've been in Laura's classes for 7 years now and have enjoyed them right from the beginning. Laura is sensitive to our needs and adjusts lessons to suit. She carefully guides and assists our progress. Every group I've been in has been friendly and sociable, and over the years, I've made some really good friends. Oh - and my Italian knowledge has improved too!"

Lynn (Italian Improvers)

Jean (Creative Writing)
"Laura is an excellent teacher! Every lesson is fun, challenging and interesting. I've progressed as a writer, especially in practising prose but also in fine-tuning my poetic skills. You won't get any better value for money learning anywhere else".

Nadia (Creative Writing)
"I really enjoy Laura's Drawing and Watercolour classes. The atmosphere is friendly and fun but we also learn a lot each week. I was a complete novice when I started the lessons but, with Laura's help, I'm really happy with the progress I've managed to make so far.X"

Jo (Drawing and Painting)
"This class has completely reignited my creativity's. I love how each session blends clear guidance with the freedom to explore my own style. Being part of a group of likeminded people makes it even better. Laura is a fantastic teacher, and her constructive feedback always helps me improve without ever feeling pressured."

Diana (Drawing and Painting)
