Thank you for such an amazing experience with the academy that will stay with us forever. We weren't really sure what to expect at first but Ben really put us at ease. You can really tell that this is such a passion for all of the tutors, it just shines through. The fact that you let us find our stride and just go for it gave us such confidence and someone was always on hand for support. We're really proud of what we achieved together, and our 'cabbage' flower will be having pride of place in our home.
