Testimonials

“I got a lot out of it. I wasn’t confident about understanding statistics at the start of the workshop, but now I feel as though I can analyse graphs and other stats fairly well. The workshop also helped me to think about how to gather the information I need for reports and research.”

“Very approachable material used for examples. Clear logical presentation and explanation of a complex topic.” 

“Very engaging and enthusiastic. Able to help us work through the exercises ourselves, encouraging us to contribute rather than feed us answers.”
