Ali of Awalim
had this to say of Anthea's classes:
"She...has been very instrumental in teaching me how to break away from standard 1,2,3,4 (combination) construction.Wow! Thanks Tshaya (Zi'ah Ali)! |
"Why?
Isn't
teaching just "'showing people
what
to do?'"
-

"At least I can teach Beginners....?"
- No! Teaching Beginners WELL is harder than you think!
