Happy Clients

“This training by Claire was helpful, enjoyable and informative. I have used it in my everyday practice to adapt work for the pupil. It was very useful as I feel confident to be able to put these ideas into everyday use. Claire is very good at making you feel at ease and listened to. She is also very good at solving problems put to her. I took away many things from the course and her delivery was great. She is obviously well-skilled and experienced and was great at seeing things from many points of view.”

 

Paula Birnie – SEN TA

“I felt the training was extremely useful. I started using the strategies Claire gave us immediately on returning to the classroom. Her knowledge and her way of sharing this knowledge on the subject leaves a lasting impression. I could listen to her way of teaching all day. You never feel that you have heard it before because, even if you have, her way of delivering enforces its usefulness and you know that it works and gives you a better understanding of why.”
