Testimonials I've met some fantastic people since I established Invest Inside Yourself and many clients keep in touch. Some have even been so generous as to share their experiences in the public domain. These are a few of their comments. |
Head Teacher Anne Heywood Andrew Many thanks for the work you have undertaken in this school. The following are some of my observations; that you may use publicly. It can be a challenge for teachers to find effective ways of teaching spelling. What we want is actually a way for children to LEARN and remember spellings. Following your work in my school, an experienced Year 4 teacher met with her class and explained how 'Things were going to be different'. She had been increasingly worried about the group of children who seemed to fail week after week in spelling tests, concerned about their self-esteem as much as their spelling ability. Part of her new approach was to abandon differentiated spelling lists, then the children used your methods to help learn their spellings. After one week, all but six children achieved full marks in their spelling test. The remaining six children scored 8 or 9 out of ten. Four children had never before achieved full marks in a spelling test in their whole school career. This was a truly remarkable change. Then in the second week, ALL children achieved 100% in their spelling test. The positive attitude emanating from this classroom is palpable! The boost to self-esteem has been tremendous, and is spilling over into all aspects of the children's learning. Another experienced teacher confided she had always thought there must be more than 'Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check' to learn spellings. The impact of your methods speaks for itself and your knowledge and professionalism are truly inspiring to pupils and parents. Introducing your learning methods has led to the most rapid improvement in attitude (and spelling accuracy!) that I have ever seen. Anne Heywood, Head Teacher. |
Parent - SJG "V Happy Mum" After years of trying to help my son (10yrs) and even with intensive one on one learning support provided by school both he and I were extremely frustrated. My son had always had great comprehension skills and a fantastic imagination /vocabulary though he had almost stopped writing stories etc. as he could not put down on paper his thoughts - not because he couldn't organize his thoughts but because he was so frustrated with his own writing (spelling# abilities. He thought he was `thick' and `stupid' #his words#.

Parent - Sue Hello Andrew I just wanted to send you a little update about my son and to thank you for helping him to believe in himself and in his ability to learn to spell and do maths. We came to see in you in your home in February 2009 (myself, my husband and my son). At the time my son was really struggling with reading, spelling. mental arithmetic and comprehension maths and his confidence was at an all time low. My husband really identified with the way you were teaching our son techniques and said that this was exactly the way that he learnt. Our son is now in a very different place. Over the course of this last year, his confidence has gone from strength to strength; he is so much happier and less anxious. He goes to school with a smile on his face, his reading and maths is continuing to improve and although there is still room for improvement in the spelling in his written work, he has a strategy and a belief that if he keeps persevering he can learn how to spell new words. He told me yesterday that he was telling the Teaching Assistant (who works with him) that he is using the Andrew Bendefy technique and that was why he was looking up. He was so pleased when his teacher said, `Oh yes, I know what you’re doing – I’ve just been on a course run by Andrew Bendefy’. I’m not sure what the course was but I’m so pleased that our school is recognising the technique because I really believe that it will help more children reach their potential. As a mother, I would like to thank you so much for the wonderful work you’re doing and for your commitment. When we came to see you last year, I really felt we were out and sea and you were like the life boat coming to rescue us! Very best wishes, Sue |
