What do schools say about this training?

“The Storytelling/Talking the text training delivered by Tre is a fantastic CPD opportunity. We are a bilingual school and this training gave our staff opportunities to develop common tools adaptable and transferable from one language to the other. By following the same structure, the children benefit from a strong program which allows them to switch between languages. The training is a mix of theory as well as practical examples transferable straight away to class. Tre is very easy to work with and we are really grateful for all the quality advice and guidance we received.” Camie Steuer, Head Teacher and DSL, La Petite Ecole Française
