Sustainable Development Goals
This is a fantastic class that my 16-year-old thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Marta's passion for the subject is truly inspiring, and her vast knowledge seems endless. My daughter learned an incredible amount in such a short period, always eager to share new and fascinating information with the family after each lesson.
Before this class, she never looked forward to homework, but Marta's engaging teaching style changed that. She was genuinely excited to complete her assignments and often couldn't wait to dive into the next lesson. The impact of Marta’s teaching was so profound that my daughter immediately asked to be signed up for the second program as soon as this one ended. She was sad to see this class come to a close but is eagerly looking forward to continuing her learning journey with Marta.
