"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)
