“I hope that what helps me stay on the path of meaningful learning in the future is the fact that I do not want to become the kind of teacher I had during my school years. I want to change the meaning of the word ‘teacher’ for myself and rather be supportive and caring toward the student, and why not also a guide in their professional studies.”

“My feedback is more of a wish that you remain as active and wonderful as you have been in every training; you move mountains of knowledge and, through that, our everyday lives as well. I have never attended a training where my instructors could navigate and account for so many factors and still carry out so excellently what they themselves recommend. If there is anyone who truly knows and understands how to apply knowledge, then without a doubt Anu and Raili are the role models that come to mind. You offer more than knowledge and training, rather, an experience!”

“I also observed you as feedback providers and learned a few tricks: you can pick up on any thread of a conversation and guide it back on track; even a discussion that has gone off-topic can be used to serve the lesson’s goals, you were great examples of that yourselves.”
