"Now that I've had some time to go through your comments and suggestions on my 4th Module, I'd just like to say a big thank you for all of your help and support over the past few months. I'm delighted to have completed my course, and am looking forward to "pastures new" when I start teaching my first class next week. I can't thank you enough for your prompt answers to my queries, helpful suggestions and comments, and also your book recommendations. You have helped me to grow as a teacher, and I have some useful teaching resources for future use."

"Level 3 has been a great investment and my new Head wrote to congratulate me and has earmarked me for a pay rise in September. I loved the study booklets and the clear practical explanations and suggestions. I am due to teach at summer school again so there is a possibility of starting level 3 at the end of August."
Rosemary Edney
