Well Presented. Ruth demonstrated excellent subject knowledge - her insights were absolute gold dust. Would recommend the programme for anyone new to teaching Economics.

Outstanding training. I’m always in awe of the Tutor2U trainers as they make it look so easy. I left feeling motivated, inspired and ultimately fully equipped to teach year 13. Thank you Tutor2U superheroes. You should all wear capes!

Inspiring, funny, lots of great ideas, and resources were shared. Good discussions among the tables! Jon and Ruth are absolutely amazing and unstoppable. So happy I joined both Y12 and Y13 Macroeconomics sessions. I feel much more equipped now to teach my students in an engaging and thoughtful way!
