Testimonials
Hannah’s delivery of nuanced and complex areas of cognitive science was simultaneously straightforward for trainee teachers to access without losing the detail critical to understanding how we learn. Trainees have made heavy reference to Hannah’s sessions in their essays and thinking, with clear and effective improvements to their practice as a result of her input
We were delighted to welcome Hannah to our Pre Prep and were fascinated to hear all of the research and advice on how to best support our youngest pupils. The focus on learning and developing through play has given us the confidence to continue with the work we have been doing in this area. The practical tools and tips have been invaluable and Hannah’s approachable and friendly style allowed us to ask lots of questions. Her knowledge in this field is outstanding.
As an Early Years setting, Hannah has been our trainer and advisor for several years now. She was such a breath of fresh air after the COVID-19 pandemic when we had not received in house, face-to-face training for 2 years. She has a wealth of knowledge and is truly inspiring. As a manager, I can reflect on staff’s needs and then Hannah tailors the training to meet our current needs.
Hannah shares lots of practical ideas, while linking it in to how a child’s brain develops and works basically, so that it all makes sense.
I would recommend Hannah to anyone, I’m already planning our next training!
