Online Courses

I have been offering online classes via Zoom since April 2020 and it has been a revelation discovering how effective that mode of teaching is and how it broadens out who can attend. So far tudents have joined the classes from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Holland, Germany, USA and Australia. Classes are run in conjunction with British Comedy Guide.

Here's a video on how the online courses work.
"I would say to anyone thinking about perhaps doing an online course- just DO IT!! The amount of content, information and the opportunity to come together for 2 hours every week with like-minded people, is fantastic." LK
