Strong Personal Support

All the teachers and staff at the school care deeply about supporting students, both in their learning of all the knowledge and skills involved in shiatsu, and in their own personal development during the three years of training. The following structures are built into our courses to ensure a high level of support.

For each of the years of the three year training, there is one main teacher who teaches regularly throughout the course, called a Course Tutor. This Course Tutor follows the individual progress of students, gives one-to-one tutorials, and gives individual feedback and encouragement when necessary.

In each year’s course, the teachers are helped by two Teaching Assistants, who are past students of the school now in practice. They offer extra guidance during practical sessions, can give help with theory, and also give one-on-one practical tutorials to students.

The size of classes is usually between twelve and sixteen, allowing plenty of personal guidance from teachers, as well as close, supportive relationships to develop within the group of students.

Delicious vegetarian wholefood lunches are provided as part of the course, not only providing healthy food, but also the chance to eat and socialise with each other at lunchtimes.
