Feedback
Jeremy’s style of teaching was fabulous, and he not only inspired me , but also the young lad that I was supporting to attend. His knowledge and experience are incredible and his enthusiasm is infectious! – James L.
Simply the best! Small group learning in a very positive, relaxed atmosphere, with excellent attention to detail. Plenty of individual tuition to enable correct technique. I was amazed how much I remembered after I got home, as there was a lot to take in. – Ann W.
“Easy, friendly, calm teaching style interspersed with stories and humour was a good mix… Stunning setting and peace and quiet a bonus.” – Helen H.
“Jeremy’s courses are informal and relaxed. He allows you to go at your own pace and fills you with as much information and skills as each person can handle. I learnt a lot more than I was expecting as biochar is a big subject but, as Jeremy practices what he preaches, his practical skills match his knowledge base.” – Ken.
“I really enjoyed the pace and there was the right amount of repetition so a felt confident making a start on my garden the next morning. I’ve been scything every day since and my teenage daughter is doing some too.” – Jackie A.
“I found your tuition to be excellent, it was so well delivered, real openness and patience and so very informative and enjoyable.” – Ben B.
“Without any exaggeration I can say it was among the most clear and complete instruction that I have ever had.” – Trevor B.
