If you're a budding writer, this course will help you improve your style. Note that this course is not for beginners in English, such as those who are still learning the subject-verb agreement!

The content of this course was valuable. I learnt so much. But the structure of this course takes the cup for me. I had the best experience learning a topic that isn't so often easy to learn.

This course was informative and challenging. I enjoyed seeing what I remembered from my grammar lessons in school and what I had forgotten over time. Or, at times what I had remembered wrong.
