Chi Phan
We learnt how to make the pizza dough/base from scratch. It was a private pizza making class. The teacher was great, he provided some helpful tips, was funny, was very helpful when we were stuck on a step or process. The venue was super easy to get to, as it's only a 1 min walk from Circular Quay station, and the place we had our cooking class was in a nice & open area with great lighting.

The venue was super easy to get to, as it's only a 1 min walk from Circular Quay station, and the place we had our cooking class was in a nice & open area with great lighting. The materials provided were really good, and we had a variety of good pizza toppings to choose from to add onto our pizzas. The class was good value for money, there was plenty of food, and the instructor was greathowever, we felt a bit ripped off with the 2 hour bottomless cocktails package, as we didn't start it until 2.30pm when everyone got there (even though the class was booked for 2pm-4pm, some of my friends were running late, so we didn't start the drinks until 2.30pm -- and we were told this was fine, that they can wait for us to start a bit later). So we were cut off from ordering any drinks after 4pm, even though we only started ordering from 2.30pm. There were also no reminders or warnings that our drinks package would end soon -- we were only approached at 4pm to be advised that the drinks package is over; no "hey, just letting you know, you have 1 hour/30 mins/15 mins left on your drinks package". Overall, the cooking class at SMC was a fun & great experience that my friends & I would definitely do again. + more
Jess Ta
Lots of fun with Pamela's pop up card class. Easy to follow along and she made sure to cater to all levels of experience and taught us how to make up to 3 different types of cards within the session time.

Creative Tea Blending Workshop
It was a great lesson to learn more about tea, e.g. What basic ingredients to blend tea. The activities were fun as they allowed us to be creative to make our own tea. Liliana is a patient teacher and is able to deliver the materials well.
Marty Thomas
John was very engaging and personable. We covered a lot of ground in a short time. The space was well suited to the class requirements. The class was very inclusive!
Anita Kenny
Creative Tea Blending Workshop
Really enjoyed Liliana sharing her passion and knowledge of tea, encouraging us to create blends of all types. Clean venue, COVIDSafe practices in place and a lovely blend to take home.
Adam
Creative Tea Blending Workshop
It was great to experiment and learn about different tea flavours and ingredients to blend
Moni Theam
What a fantastic experience! Lots of fun and laughs, lovely people, relaxed and welcoming environment as well as excellent skills taught. The classes were always interesting, dynamic and fast-paced. As a beginner, I was on occasion challenged beyond my comfort zone but in a positive and supportive way - great for developing self-confidence and learning how to think quickly on your feet.

After a mere four lessons with John Samaha I feel ready to progress with my acting in various fields. The classes were small enough to receive valuable attention, but also large enough to try scenes with different partners, a valuable lesson in itself.

The classes were small enough to receive valuable attention, but also large enough to try scenes with different partners, a valuable lesson in itself. John really is the most wonderful acting teacher. He is informative, incredibly funny, and kept us on our toes, inviting us to explore all facets of the acting world. He brought out any natural ability we had and offered us the confidence to perform with other actors as though we had known them all our lives. We were taught clear, specific and concise objectives, how to ignore the camera and not be conscious of others in the room. He showed us how to design a thought to create a feeling, therefore creating the behaviour of the character we were playing. I particularly enjoyed the exercise where we started at the end and went back in time to an earlier scene, then forward to the middle of our relationship with the other character. It really set the stage for a believable scenario. Apart from the lessons, the atmosphere of the class was friendly, inclusive, non judgemental, and did I say fun? Yes! + more
Cher Salmon
The teacher has long-term experience in the theatre & TV industry & provided lots of helpful tips & insights, while helping us relax into trying new techniques. The exercises & materials were engaging & challenging. My classmates were interesting, & I made good contacts.

Awesome acting workshop, even for a newbie like me. John is an amazing teacher and communicator. He is somehow able to get his students to surprise themselves. All conducted in a welcoming, non-judgemental atmosphere, that encourages expession and exploration. A great way to meet me people and stretch yourself.
Maryam Ghaeni
John is a fabulous teacher with the ability to dramatically change the quality of performances with simple, easy to understand instructions; performances become more believable within minutes.

A very enjoyable class. John is very knowledgeable and puts all his students at ease. Techniques are clear and concise. I felt confident and had so much fun!

Fabulous! Although our class was officially cancelled due to the weather, Scott kindly braved the rain and went out of his way to accomodate us as we were only in Sydney for this weekend.

Job Dijk
Creative Tea Blending Workshop
An excellent introduction into the world of tea and the art of tea blending. Liliana is an expert in her field and passionate about sharing her knowledge. Two hours is a little short to learn everything there is to learn, but it gives you great inspiration to start experimenting at home. Highly recommendable!
