Testimonials from Teachers

"Colin was absolutely fantastic and really engaging and inspiring. He made it relevant by talking through his own early years and education and raised lots of questions on the Q&A afterwards. Even patiently posed for photographs with the students and their parents. I can thoroughly recommend."

– Lee Parfitt, Kingshurst Academy

"We were super pleased with Colin. His presentation was great – the assembly were engaged and the Q&A was busy. He was also incredibly open and friendly with our students; happy to spend time with anyone that wanted to talk. I now need to match him for next year’s assembly!”

– Gill Turner, Newbattle Abbey College

“Colin was great, he hit the spot in terms of content and related his experiences to our students. Exciting stories but relevant messages throughout! So a big hit.”

– Linda De Costa, Schools Administrator, National Museum of Flight​
