Welcome to the information page for my adult education classes, which I currently teach on Thursday evenings and Saturday daytimes at Hills Road Sixth Form College.
I have collected a few links to pages and YouTube videos below which I hope will be helpful to beginners and more experienced students alike. It is by no means a definitive list. Do explore the internet for more ideas and techniques.
Should you need to contact me my Hills Road email is jpeake@hillsroad.ac.uk but please bear in mind that I only work for the college part time and it may take a while for me to answer!
