REVIEWS: Mark Kennedy makes studying fun!

0 Comments

 Positively MAD’s Mark Kennedy is gradually building a strong reputation as a deliverer of high-impacting and hugely entertaining courses. Schools have been writing in to us to thank us for the work that Mark has done, praising his fun and entertaining style.

 Mark was in Oxford recently, delivering Exam busters and the Hooks, Lines and Thinkers English courses to Year 10 and year 11 students.

 The teachers who observed the sessions noted how responsive they were to Mark’s delivery manner: “The students were focused and interested,” commented Deliah Wilkinson of Oxford School, adding, “They were engaged and asked lots of relevant questions to support their learning.”
