Heys,
I will be going this year too, same subjects as well.
My school usually pay its students to take part in these lectures, so they can be ahead of school and to increase our chance for obtaining high ENTER's, According to them, TSFX is really good, since they depend on their teachers.
So yeah, last time i went to these lectures, it seemed good.

Yours Faithfully,

i think youre better off starting on your own. then when you have trouble, get a private tutor from VN.

No he retired at the end of 2008

But he still taught at TSFX in 2009 so maybe that's his "retirement job"?
