“On behalf my charity’s youth programme, I have hired and worked with Leona for several years now! Leona designs and delivers fantastic workshops for our beneficiaries (children with a chronic illness ages 6-14) all over Zoom. These workshops are always engaging, fun, and creative! They are one of our most popular offerings and children and parents cannot sing about Leona’s calming and inclusive teaching style enough. Leona has been such a pleasure to work with. She is kind, compassionate, professional and trustworthy. Her personality shines through in every workshop she delivers, and she empowers the children who benefit from this collaboration ”
Bahar, Youth Programme Coordinator
“Leona ran an Art Club with us at Bounds Green School for just over a year and it was always a well received club. The children really enjoyed the projects that they did with Leona, and they always created new and interesting work. Leona also ran some other sessions with us, including Christmas workshops, where the children could create their own Christmas cards and tree hanging decorations!”
