"As an AST with 25 years of experience, I have attended many courses in that time. Nowadays, especially when I want an update on the latest ideas, I visit Tony Dickens' courses in excellent teaching as often as I can. Tony is simply the best practitioner, with the best ideas, on the consultancy circuit today." (SM, English AST, East Yorkshire)
"Tony’s sessions are inspiring and invigorating. He certainly understands the needs of the average student and pressures on us teachers. Not only do you leave his sessions feeling rejuvenated about teaching, you also leave with loads of amazing ready-to-use resources that engage students of all ages and abilities. Worth every penny!" (CC, Head of English, Northamptonshire)
"Excellent courses delivered in an engaging style and with, crucially, plenty of carefully prepared resources available for immediate use in the classroom. The best training courses I have ever been on." (EW, Head of English, Hertfordshire)
"Rich, engaging courses that provide tons of classroom-friendly ideas. Your INSET on non-fiction was inspirational. A unit we used to dread has now become a favourite." (DP, Head of English, Essex)

"An excellent session full of motivational tools for the classroom. Thanks for all the resources, Tony - an incredibly valuable few hours of training!" (KT, English Teacher, North Yorkshire)
“ We had a brilliant staff training session on strategies to support CD borderline students and were introduced to so many rich resources. These are now being used in different ways from Y7 to Y13 – good, practical ideas with a proper learning focus are effective with any group. It was so successful that we booked again – this time for support in introducing spoken language study as well as putting Tony in front of the year group for revision. Observing students using his tips and techniques in the exam hall confirmed that they got as much out of it as the staff did!” (AM, Head of English, Northamptonshire)
