  • Working with Across Cultures was a really positive experience. The communication has been really good, frequent and transparent and they are always easy to contact and always respond quickly when I have any questions or queries. I think they are experienced in their roles and in providing their services, and additionally they seem passionate and excited about what it is they are doing and delivering. It is clear that they are also willing to learn and offer new things along the way, and are always receptive to feedback, which shows a commitment to their development and that they always want to offer the best service that they can. The students have provided nothing but positive feedback too, which is really great to hear.

  • There has been an extremely positive response and Community Village learners who are excited and engaging well.

    We are noticing that learners are referring to the Community Village lessons they are engaging with.

    Feedback from Community Village learners so far is that they are very excited and want to practice all the time.

    The Community Village teachers see the lessons as a long term opportunity.

  • Thank you very much for the lessons — it was an interesting training program, and I really enjoyed the variety of exercises. Community Village is a great educational program where you can learn the language from a beginner level and continue to improve your skills. Thank you, Iva, for teaching us all this time.

  • As a school, we have a high level of pupil mobility throughout the year, due to families being re-housed to different boroughs. Very often, we have new families/children that join our school/community from abroad as new arrivals to the country. Frequently, these families/children will start our school with either no spoken English or with very limited English. These families bring a wealth of diversity, but do struggle with life in a new country (socially) and find it challenging to communicate.

  • I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful lessons, for your patience, optimism and constant support! I really hope that your organisation will find an opportunity to continue this as it is simply necessary for people like me.

  • The biggest impact we notice was the parent’s confidence levels increasing and a willingness to engage with the school staff.

    Each month the parents were invited to attend the school’s soft start Learning Village workshop for their child/children. We wanted parents to be able to observe the EAL support teacher teaching the programme to their children and to share ideas and strategies so the parents could continue to support their children at home using these techniques.

    The post-questionnaire was completed by all parents and 100% of parents now feel confident speaking in basic English when needed to communicate with school staff, and have a better understanding of how to support their children at home.
