Unfortunately, I missed first week of class because of my visa delay so I missed week 1 lessons. I joined the class on week 3 and start to learn from our tutor Ms Melina who is really great teacher. My teacher and all my classmates are really friendly and welcomed me warmly. Ms Melina always help me to catch up with the lessons I missed and the things I don't understand.
