Testimonials
I have been impressed by Jo’s dynamic and creative teaching and presentation style which captures children’s imagination and makes them want to discover more.
Mr Bryant, Headteacher, William Westley Primary School.
What can I say about Dr Jo? She gave me all the information I needed, provided me with a timetable of the day, arrived punctually and was tremendously organised. Her delivery of our sessions was fantastic – the children were hooked and the staff loved getting involved as well. Jo encouraged the children to work scientifically throughout every workshop and delivered sessions tailored to the science topic of each class she was in. Jo even managed to thread in our KS1 topic of castles into the workshops – amazing! I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Jo Science Solutions….book her into your school NOW. What are you waiting for?
Mr Howden, Science Lead, Thaxted Primary School, Essex.
