Jessica praat met groot lof oor Lesley en sy is altyd opgewonde oor die lesse. Sy voel altyd baie gemaklik in Lesley se klas.

— Helena

She adapted really quickly to how Kaitlyn works and she allowed Kaitlyn to focus on a higher level.

— Melissa

Ono has not done great: she learnt a subject that she didn't do in her other grades. She wasn't confident that she'd be at a level where she obtained level 4 [2nd term] from level 2 [term 1]. Level 2 was still a surprise to us but level 4 was beyond our imagination. She's very confident and I must thank Lesley for the great work done. I don't know how she did it, but she's a wonderful being to have started a 'project' like this and put it where it is. Thank you Lesley, thank you Teach me 2 for facilitating all this and allocating this work to the best teachers like Lesley.
