He says: “I try to ensure my sessions are fun, with strategies based on research, illuminated with real examples from the classroom. My aim is to leave teachers with things they can use in the classroom tomorrow, together with strategies and approaches that will last a lifetime. Without wishing to blow my own trumpet, the evaluations and feedback I receive are always outstanding, and I work hard to provide sessions that will have a long-lasting positive impact for those involved.”
