Flying Start - learning made easy

Win a Mocks in a Box!

Posted on March 18th 2019

We’re excited to announce our new Accelerator courses, which start in the Easter holidays.

We are proud to announce that Flying Start's Founder, Sian Goodspeed, is a finalist in the Education category of this year's NLP Awards. The NLP awards recognise those individuals who have demonstrated the use of NLP in making a marked difference in their sector. Sian has been selected as a finalist due to the impact Flying Start Tuition is having in the education sector, and our unique, holistic approach to tuition.

One big part of this is the way in which we have embedded NLP into our teaching and learning to enable our tutors to connect with students and deliver engaging lessons. In addition, we provide our students with a toolkit of NLP techniques they can use to help improve their confidence and concentration and develop a positive attitude to learning - both in school and beyond.

A number of our tutors are NLP practitioners and all our team undergo comprehensive NLP training in order to provide consistency across the company.

If you'd like to find out more about how we use NLP at Flying Start, check out Sian's article in Rapport, the magazine produced by ANLP, the organisers of the NLP awards.

We will find out if Sian is a winner in May...Watch this space!
