Feedback from previous participants

The Training was fab. Lydia was great very patient and calm. She made the training fun with games and ways to remember to help us sign in makaton. She taught me new signs I hadn’t signed for ages. Thank you Lydia for a fun evening!
Friendly relaxed session where the tutor was very knowledgable in Makaton signing. Lydia had a nice manner which made the workshop fun and easy to learn. I loved it!
I just want to say my big Thank You to you Lydia for learning a lot on your Makaton Courses Level 1 and Level 2. Your teaching was superb, the courses was very easy to follow, had a depth of knowledge and could satisfy all my questions and queries. Sometimes people attend courses and then don’t use the information they’ve learnt, but now I will use it with my confidence.I am happy to see how such a simple addition to my communication has positively impacted so many children and removed barriers to those with learning difficulties, Autism or different conditions.

Lydia came to our school to deliver a Makaton Level 1 workshop to our staff. The workshop was informative and fun, and all the staff felt they had really learnt something. Lydia is a brilliant teacher- warm, funny and engaging and with an innate ability to make people feel comfortable. She has boundless enthusiasm for Makaton which really came across in her delivery. We will definitely use her again for any future workshops and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone else looking for a Makaton tutor.

The sessions were great - exactly the right length, welcoming and sociable and we definitely learnt a lot of new things that we now are incorporating into our lives with our baby daughter.
