What previous students have said about our short courses

“A big thanks to Nikki and Abdullah for setting up a well-structured, comprehensive and holistic course. Both teachers created an environment where I felt completely at ease to ask any questions, no matter how many, without hesitation. I had previously completed a maths course, which was too fast-paced for me. The maths taught in this course is highly relevant to health science degrees, presented in a straightforward and clear manner. I had significant apprehensions about being able to pass a chemistry course before attending this maths workshop. However, I now possess the confidence and foundational skills. I must also highlight the positive atmosphere throughout the course. There was room for humour and a laugh, which made a subject often considered 'daunting' much lighter and enjoyable! For me, the workshop was super valuable. I wouldn't have had a chance at chem without it.”
