So based on my experience, I’d say online learning can be really good, dependant on the subject!
That sounds really interesting. I was always useless at maths, even with a teacher in the room! What service do you do the A Levels through?

Definitely! I am in... a lot of debt from my degree, but I wouldn't go back and change it. Have you perhaps looked into doing an NVQ or BTEC in mechanical engineering, or something similar?

I'd love to learn braille. I've been on a waiting list for a year to learn it in person but I should probably start looking for online resources at this point.
Thanks for sharing this Tori, what a fantastic event!
