Testimonials

Wow. What an excellent session. Probably some of the best CPD I have ever had. The very next day I have used the ideas and knowledge gained from the session within my lesson, it really was invaluable. I recommend that all A-level teachers take part in this CPD!

Lincoln Castle Academy

It helped, both with our understanding of how to best prepare our students, and our confidence in what we are already delivering. Your style is engaging and well paced and your experience of teaching, publishing and examining is reassuring.

British School of Brussels

We put the suggested lesson activities into practice the following day with very positive results, the pie chart is being used across all year groups now! We are now far more secure in marking the different levels and focusing on analysis. This was great training as it was focused on our specific needs as a department and we are confident it has improved our teaching and marking of A Level.

Douay Martyrs

"Fantastic training. It was great to go through actual answers as well as to gain tips about how to better prepare our students. Knowing exactly what the examiners are looking for will really help moving forward and the resources which were shared are really super."

Oakgrove School

"Melanie was excellent in helping us to make sense of the AQA mark schemes, identify common mistakes made by students and cross mark exam scripts. A great CPD in house session tailored exactly to our needs. I just wish we'd had more time with her!"
