WORD ON THE STREETS
Testimonials
“Student of Life came highly recommended by a member of staff and other schools within our borough. My expectations were exceeded! The children were enthused, excited and inspired by the performance. They really thought about the poetry/lyrics they produced during the workshop. Thank you very much, I will be in contact in the future”
“BREIS spent the whole day at our academy working with years 8-10. His workshop was so lively and exciting and had the engagement of every single student and staff member in the room. His witty delivery and amazing knowledge of hip hop and rap made it the perfect workshop for our students to enjoy. His interactive presentation had the perfect balance of both the history of hip hop and modern-day artists that our students listen to, making it a great learning experience for everyone involved! Highly recommend this experience to any school looking for something engaging and completely unique for your students to experience.”
“I will highly recommend this to any school or organisation who are in search of a creative and inspirational workshop that is guaranteed to motivate and inspire children of all ages”
“Student of Life gave an extremely entertaining talk which inspired a lot of discussion during the next lesson. It was a really useful link and introduction to the poetry unit the class are doing this term and I have referred to the content several times since.”
“Excellent presentation and workshop that was really engaging and exactly what we wanted to inspire our students. It was great to see some of the more reserved students get up and perform their work in front of their peers, which they may not have done usually. The kids were buzzing and I have a feeling that they will be for the days after.”
“Thank you so much for Tuesday’s sessions. Our students are still buzzing from it all. Students thoroughly enjoyed being able to have visitors in school again. Year 10 said ”it was really engaging and interactive. We got insights into different influences in music and poetry.” In a workshop delivered to some year 9 students, you explored how allusions can be used in effective ways. The students wrote some amazing stories and poems”
“The children enjoyed the assembly which kick started the workshop activities for the day. The individual classes found the creation of rap using ideas and poetry to be very stimulating.”
“Student of Life boosted the children’s confidence, raised their self esteem and encouraged team work. It brought fun to learning and the teachers thought it was fab too”
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you with all my heart for the whole experience that you gave us, pure brilliance”
“Professional, excellent communication, engaging, vibrant, fresh and relevant.”
“Professionalism was top notch, they really know their stuff. It was fantastic!”
“You created such a buzz with the students and your workshops were brilliant (I mean that – I have seen a few authors give presentations and yours was pitched perfectly)”
