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.
I love everything about KAI; especially the assignments in the courses. My teachers always ask me to do interesting projects and presentations… I felt a sense of achievement every time I completed my work. I also felt so energized and motivated when receiving encouraging feedback from my teachers. The kind of assessments I did at KAI really encourages me a lot.
