REVIEWS: Students and teachers impressed by Nick Osborne's study skills presentation

0 Comments

Nick Osborne has been making a positive difference in Wales recently, with his delivery of the Super Speed Study Skills course to students at Ebbw Vale Comprehensive.  Receiving 4 and 5 star ratings from the pupils is no mean feat, yet that is what the students awarded the course and Nick inspired one student to report that the delivery was ‘funny, interesting and made you want to listen.’

The study skills course shows students how to revise in ways that save time and which make learning more enjoyable. It’s a 2 hour learning event for students in Key Stages 4 and 5 and has become one of Positively MAD’s best sellers.

Nick once again showed his flair in Wales and impressed the teachers with the usefulness of the skills and techniques presented.
