"Every day is so different from the last, I learn each day from the students... I love the diversity and uniqueness of each student and assisting them to learn in the way that suits them best. Aspect is amazing at student focused learning, I have never experienced such a nourishing learning environment with a strong child-based focus.  I truly enjoy every day, watching the student's anxiety fade and their creativity shine through." Teacher, Aspect School
