When I started at iLearn I was much more impulsive, anxious, and socially awkward. After iLearn, the exposure to new people and situations with proper mentorship helped me excel. I experienced a very comforting environment with supportive staff members who let students work at their own pace. I left iLearn feeling at ease about my future. By focussing on my strengths, it allowed me to shape the experience and prepare myself for the real world with confidence and a smile.
