I love the freedom of self-studying. I can work on my own time. I also have a flexible schedule and super supportive teachers.
Besides the fact that Kanata Academy International helped me to enlarge my field of knowledge and be eager to learn, what I love most about it is how understanding and kind the teachers are. Their motivational words and their encouragement helped me more than anything to develop self-confidence, discover my strengths and work on my weaknesses.
