What teachers and trainers say
​
​​​​​"Just two sessions of Barnaby’s mentoring provided a clear structure and valuable insights that strengthened my professional development as a coach. His guidance helped me refine my approach and, in turn, support my clients with greater clarity and confidence. Barnaby is an excellent sounding board, and I highly recommend him to fellow coaches. I’ll certainly turn to Barnaby again whenever I need professional mentoring."

Mindset and Communication Coach​​​
​
​
"Working with Barney as my tutor during the Trinity DipTESOL diploma was genuinely transformative. His feedback throughout the course was invaluable, but what truly made a difference was seeing how it played out in real classrooms the following year. I had the chance to put his guidance into practice across a range of contexts - whether I was teaching adults, young learners, or teenagers - and his insights into how to approach error correction and tackle pronunciation issues were especially impactful.
Applying his suggestions elevated my teaching to a completely new level. Now that I’m working as a CELTA teacher trainer, I realise just how significant his influence has been. The clarity with which he explained ideas, the technical knowledge he shared, and the practical insights he offered are all things I still draw on today when talking to trainees. His feedback didn’t just make me a better teacher - it helped shape the way I train new teachers, and I continue to reference his approach when giving feedback on their teaching.
Barney’s guidance has had a lasting impact on my professional growth, and I’m deeply grateful for it."
