She broke it down for us and build upon our knowledge. I would highly recommend Katie for anyone interested in learning Makaton."
Melanie- Level 1 - 5/9/24
"I loved the two workshops. The content was delivered in a fun and detailed manner. I feel that I really benefited from Katie’s enthusiasm, knowledge and high level of understanding. She knows how Makaton is being used and was able to discuss many different circumstances giving tips and recommendations. She also signposted me to some great resources in the Makaton library that I will definitely try using in my setting."
Daniel- Level 1- 4- 7/8/24
"Katie was a fantastic tutor, her signing was so clear and precise, she was an excellent role model. Katie was engaging and enthusiastic, she was encouraging and ensured all participants were helped equally. The flow of the training was excellent, we moved along at a good pace, covering all the material thoroughly but were able to ask questions or pause for explanations if needed. I would highly recommend Katie as a tutor."
