“Joanne is an excellent consultant who is both knowledgeable and approachable. She has a flexible approach and is accommodating and very pleasant and enjoyable to work with. Joanne has helped our company and its subcontractors with implementing supported experiments to improve our maths teaching within apprenticeships. This has been highly valued by both staff and learners and we are now able to take this forward to improve our provision for the future”

“Joanne is an absolute pleasure to work with; her understanding, training ability and first-hand experience has undoubtedly enhanced our project and is helping to secure its success. Joanne’s advice on project management and training for our Coaches has been highly effective. Joanne has enthusiasm in bucket loads and a real energy that enthuses those around her. She is professional and extremely focused and her support has been invaluable. We are now in a position to plan for next year, making active learning and evidence based teaching strategies part of our culture, rather than a project. Joanne has been a key part of this and I am sure we will be working closely with her in the future.”
