What Our Schools Think
Thanks for all our lessons this year. From learning how to make a chatbot to exploring game or website makeups, all your Half Moon Bay School students loved having you as a teacher. In a technological world, as we grow up we need these things to help us understand what is happening. Thanks for giving up your time to teach us.

Our teacher is awesome, and we are really enjoying working with her. She takes extra time to work 1 on 1 with the kids and personally addresses everyone’s contributions and after teaching online during lockdown, I realise that this is much harder than it seems.
You guys do an amazing job, and we are grateful to be taking part.
Thank you so much for organising and teaching our student Afrikaans. It has been such a blessing to have your expertise and to know that his first language is being strengthened even more.
For us it is huge, being from a rural school. For them, being able to learn online really broadens their horizons because they are actually able to interact with kids from schools around the country.
