One of the best decisions I have made was joining MAES and starting on this course. The other students were so kind and both tutor and classroom helper was kind and so helpful.

Arfan is the best teacher. He is always respectful and supports all students. He is patient with everyone, no matter their background or culture. He makes difficult things easy to understand and believes in us. He is always on time and very organised. I really appreciate his help and encouragement. He is amazing.
