Caeley Borowiec
Certificate III in Fitness
Tanisha from Onfit College has given me the upmost best support and has never given up on me. I struggle A LOT with studying and staying focused but she gives me the time and space where I feel comfortable to do everything on my own time and ask questions when I’m unsure. Couldn’t recommend her enough. Appreciate the team.
