Hi,

I thought I’d leave a review here — I started the course in October through till now, I know I haven’t been there because of life reasons and most recently I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD. Mohsin has been a great teacher “Receptive” skills have improved massively and I thank Mohsin for teaching me receptive as I know it can be quite hard for us students. I have gave evidence that Mohsin hasn’t communicated with me much especially with my homework. I cannot continue my sign language course without communication, the ladies in my group have been amazing — I get life gets in the way but no matter what I needed more structure and more materials sent to me but I do understand why Mohsin did the course work the way he did which I appreciate. I won’t be coming back for the foreseeable future but I thank Mohsin for his time the teaching style wasn’t for me. I thankyou all for allowing me to join the course when I did much appreciated once again take care and all the best!

I approached Deaf Unity to attend a team day I was hosting as the teams request was to 'learn something but not work related'. Our team is 64 strong and we're lucky to have a broad range of demographics spread across lots of roles. The booking process was really easy and the team at Deaf Unity gave full instructions and help before hand. The tutor was incredible and throughout the session he had the whole room equally engaged and enjoying themselves. The session was fascinating and everyone learnt so much. The feedback from the team was overwhelmingly positive and many have continued their learning. I would 100% recommend courses by Deaf Unity for individuals and group sessions. Thank you so much!

I loved taking my BSL Level one course with Deaf Unity. Our tutor Mohsin was so supportive and made the course enjoyable and engaging - he would often sour understanding of which became more fluid as we slowly progressed and made me feel engaged in a personable conversation by the end of the course.

Teaching was great and really improved my confidence and fluency in BSL. Started with basics and built up to everyday conversations. Learnt many signs and expressions during the course, both generally used signs and ones specific to the students.

The session was incredibly engaging and the teacher pitched the activities really well, allowing us to move at a good pace, but adjusting where necessary. I felt I learnt a great deal in a short amount of time and am keen to learn more! The interpreter was also excellent, though I wonder if they are actually needed (as I'm a proponent of immersive language learning). Overall, a fantastic learning experience and I would definitely sign up for more!

Deaf Unity Cafe was great. I’ve been going for a while when I started learning BSL and everyone was so helpful and welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

Easy to book and organise the training- great communication prior to the session, during and afterwards. Positive feedback received by attendees of the training.

Highly recommend deaf unity to study BSL, great communication and alesia was a great teacher!

The Level 1 BSL course with Mohsin was appalling. His hands kept dropping below the camera which meant that, most of the time, I could not see them. When I emailed him about this, he ignored me. What made it worse is that he kept eliciting from students and putting up PPT slides, so I had to put the screen into gallery mode which shrunk him down to the size of a postage stamp and his completely disappeared from view. The class was overcrowded, there were far too many students. Mohsin posted homework videos on Google Classroom late every week, usually putting them up a few hours before the next class while I was at work, so I had not time to study them. He did not give us a comfort break, which is unheard of in a 2 hour zoom class, which made it very tiring after a day's work and I found it impossible to focus. He then sneakily put us into break-out rooms for far too long, clearly so that he could give himself a comfort break. He then finished the class 15 minutes early. He was so unprofessional that on one occasion he allowed his flatmate to interrupt the lesson to talk about a blocked pipe and then did not even apologise to us for the interruption. Deaf Unity insists you pay £550 for the whole course in advance, before you have even had the first lesson and met the teacher. I have a background teaching EFL and this is unheard of, the norm in EFL is to charge for one month at a time, so that students can withdraw if they are not happy with the teacher. I withdrew from the course after 5 lessons and complained to Deaf Unity, but they were dismissive and refused to reimburse me a penny. I feel ripped off and very disappointed by the poor quality of this course and will be informing Signature. I recommend avoiding this company and particularly this teacher.

An excellent organisation made even better with educators like Stefania. Thank you all

I have absolutely loved the Level 1 course this year. Stefy has been amazing, brilliant teacher, and so supportive. Learning BSL has been the best decision that I have ever made; it is such a beautiful language.

Thank you for everything you do, Deaf Unity.

Deaf Unity have a good range of BSL courses available and signing up was simple. They have adapted their teaching of BSL to Zoom well and were helpful when contacted directly. A particular shout out to Mohsin who is an excellent teacher!

Would definitely recommend the Introduction to BSL course! The teacher was so friendly and welcoming, and made the sessions really enjoyable.

Had a great experience on the BSL Level 1 course. Mohsin was a great tutor, very patient and funny! Really good group in the class and a good level of support throughout

A well-structured and supportive program. The tutor was patient and helpful. I would very much recommend this to anyone interested in learning BSL!

It was an amazing opportunity to be part of learning BSL level 1, and very easy to understand my tutor Mohsin Patel.

Very informative course helping to gain a wealth of basic BSL vocabulary and practice effectively with fellow students

BSL level 1 was such a fun and informative course. The content and structure was easy to follow and flowed well. All course materials were understandable and all that you need is practice practice practice. My tutor was both professional and knowledge and had all the patience in the world. When it came to nerves and exams he put everyone at ease quickly making the experience more enjoyable. This course is well worth doing and the company is caring, compassionate and accommodating to individual needs.
