Personal Experience
“I was in Rezia’s tutor class in my first three years of secondary school. She had helped me throughout the first years, but sadly, due to a bigger interest in another subject, I could not further my textiles studies with her. During my first year, I had a bad temper, and along with many other teachers, she helped me get over this, even standing up to me in my violent rage.” - Daniel Hurry, Warwick School for Boys, 2001-2006.

—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Reading a book is like re-writing it for yourself.... You bring to a novel, anything you read, all your experience of the world. You bring your history and you read it in your own terms.”
