I recently studied my understanding internal quality assurance and understanding external quality assurance with matt. He was one of the most supportive understanding and kindness tutors I have ever met in my entire life. He is absolutely incredible and so kind and helpful. He truly does care about his students succeeding... and understanding how to best facilitate their development and understanding moving forward. I studied these courses with matt as part of a prerequisite requirement for further training. His true dedication and kindness makes him an incredibly outstanding teacher and his knowledge on teaching is unmatched by any trainer I have ever worked with.He is so kind and patient and he literally wrote a book on how to get the training right and how to help students improve themselves moving forward.I could not have asked for a better teacher if I had tried.Matt is truly amazing and interesting and a such an incredibly kind and supportive teacher.If I could give him 10 stars I totally would but unfortunately the maximum amount is 5 so that’s what I have given him.Thank you so much for helping me through everything and enabling me to progress my learning further. You are truly incredible.I would gladly recommend anyone studying with the education and training academy because of their passion and dedication and support for teacher training.read more
