Some more schools Frank has worked with:
“High octane learning ... dynamic pace, imaginative exercises, punchy style and useful tips. The girls go away buzzing with ideas to try out in their work.”
(Head of Sixth Form, Redland High School, Bristol)
“
A true measure of the success of an outside speaker talking to Year 12 students has to be when they quote it back to you days later! Frank's tutorial was a revelation to students and staff alike, delivered in a truly engaging and memorable style that was both motivating and packed with practical advice on deep learning. I am positive the tutorial will impact on this year's AS results.”
(Leanna Arkell, Head of Sixth Form, Churchdown School)
“This was just what our students needed - relevant, direct, focused and useful. He was able to keep them listening, motivated and even inspired through two hours on a rainy Friday morning in mid-December.”
(Head of Sixth Form, John Kyrle High School, Ross-on-Wye)
“The revision and study skills session for Year 11 was interesting, motivating and fun for the students... many thanks for your work with Year 11 and at the INSET.”
