What people say …
After every session with Ali, I’m more clear about the steps I need to take and what’s critical. She asks the right questions, so I can plan what needs to be done but also notice why things were not done in the first place. With such clarity and insight, I’ve become more organised and confident.
You are very good at not saying much, but getting me from the point where I think I can't see an answer to finding something and that is really useful.
Thank you so much for this morning - it has helped me think more clearly about the future, which was really useful. You asked some really good and challenging questions that made me re-assess.
You've kept my thinking really focused. And the last session triggered me into action and that's really helpful.
Ali has the heart to truly transform education using elements such as empathy and immersion; a head for seizing opportunities and nurturing partnerships; and the hands to help make it all happen in a meaningful way. She’s a joy to work with and alongside.
It’s been a really successful scoping visit … a real insight into Myanmar, the education community and international schools.
Many thanks for your excellent work and insights.
Your concept is exactly what I am looking for, but I didn’t know how to put the ideas into words.
Ali is a dream colleague because Ali is so committed to teaching and learning … Ali really involves children in their learning.
I … commend Ali Chugg to you as an outstanding primary school teacher … Ali is an excellent curriculum thinker, and an inquiry-based teacher.
Ali has been with us just over 2 years and I challenge anyone to make more difference to a school in that short a time. The whole school culture and curriculum changed by her actions.
My son has been tutored by Alison for a few months now. The objectives were to increase his confidence and try and get his passion for English back. Alison has been patient, going back to basics on technical skills, filling in gaps and most importantly making the lessons enjoyable. My son looks forward to his sessions each week. I am thrilled that she has been able to ignite that fire in him again.
I highly recommend Alison. She is punctual, professional and generous. Alison is passionate and dedicated teacher, able to connect and build relationships with the pupils she works with, filling the gaps, and preparing every lesson in detail. She encouraged my son all the way, feeding the successes. This was not only learning, but growing together.
Ali fosters a very strong home-school relationship.
Ali is loved and respected by her students and their parents. Ali quickly establishes an excellent rapport and relationship with both students and parents. Ali is a very patient, kind, positive and caring teacher.
Ali is an outstanding classroom teacher. Her classroom environment is inviting, stimulating and a place where there is ample evidence that learning is occurring.

I have definitely come away feeling more positive about the future. Each step showed me more about who I am. I enjoyed the parts on values, strengths and well being. I had an A-Ha moment on Values when I found my 5 values were not as out of sync with my life as I thought. I think the step by step approach looking at different areas was good and I liked the timing of Ali's emails.
These are tools I will carry with me in my everyday life trying to make my life as purposeful as possible. The communication was just right and the WhatsApp messages gave it a very personal touch. I have thoroughly enjoyed my course, I have learned a lot about myself and I have gained many tools I can use to make sure my time abroad will be as meaningful and purposeful as possible.
The pre-work was thought provoking and gave me much needed time to explore and invest in my own situation. The face-to-face sessions generated lots of discussion and I was able to learn a lot from the experiences of others in the group. I found that the modules and group discussions allowed me to delve deeper into my own situation, helping me to identify and examine opportunities and develop a workable plan for the future.
The 360 degree approach supported me on my learning journey - identifying where areas for development lie but also highlighting how all such areas interact and frequently complement each other.
The well-being module helped me identify activities that could be acted upon straight away to improve physical and mental health. Thank you for a useful and enlightening experience.
Thanks again for the great training sessions. I learnt a lot. You are a brilliant teacher.
Thank you for the wonderful training. I enjoyed it very much and really appreciate your detailed explanations and clarifications from multiple angles. Students must have such a fun learning experience with you!
Thank you so much for the training, it has helped me to be more engaging with the students in terms of differentiating their learning process and to think of activities and collaborative ideas to include all types of students. It was very helpful to learn about different theories, which have helped me understand myself as well as the students.
