I’ve been delivering freelance secondary PSHE talks since 2011, and, over that time, I have built a library of well-resourced talks. I also create new talks on a regular basis to meet the needs of individual schools and help them to address gaps in their PSHE provision or tackle particular issues arising within year groups.

​

I believe students learn best when they are engaged and involved rather than passive listeners. Therefore my talks, assemblies and workshops always include plenty of opportunity for interaction including quizzes and games, as well as questions throughout.  My talks are thoroughly researched and regularly updated, include learning opportunities to suit a range of learning styles and abilities, and focus on how students can apply the topic to their own lives.

​

I am confident in ensuring students remain focused and engaged, and I always strive to balance professionalism with humour to ensure students enjoy my visits. I maintain high expectations of all students during my talks which can be especially important when covering sensitive or controversial topics.  I finish every talk by signposting students to “next steps” options for students who feel affected in some way by the topics covered.
