Testimonials
Here are just a few of the nice things people have said about Mark’s talks:
“Mark went down a storm! He really gave us a LOT of his time. His presentation style is brilliant. It is quite apparent that he is an experienced teacher as he is totally unfazed by large numbers of children or daft/inappropriate/silly questions. He fielded all the questions superbly and managed the large numbers really well. Much of his presentation has an element of slapstick and his delivery is akin to a stand-up comedian – all of this went down really well with the children.”
– EM – King’s School Winchester
“Super. Entertaining, high energy but with a serious message about writing.”
– DW – Stewart’s Melville, Edinburgh
“Everyone enjoyed it”
– DE – Blatchington Mill, Brighton
“A wonderful day… The pupils have been talking about it ever since.”
– LS – Priory Middle, Beds.
“A great session, the students got a lot out of it”
– SI – Hove Park, Brighton
“…brilliant… great to see the students so engaged, enjoying themselves and producing such imaginative work. They are still buzzing this morning with all they did!
– MR – Homewood School, Ashford
