Absolutely no words! Madiha is the best instructor I have come across! She taught me things under 2 hours where my previous instructor couldn’t in 7-8 hours. She also makes jokes and talks to you to make you feel really comfortable throughout the lesson, also a pro tip: if she offers gum, take it, works like magic! And yes I passed my G2 today.
