“About the 'Summer Start' Course: I have enjoyed refreshing my knowledge and that has eased the overwhelming feeling of having to start all over again. I would recommend to others who are only just starting.”

“Recently, I came across a webinar on International Mindedness (IM) by Dr. Carmen, which felt like the icing on the cake of all my prior learning on the subject. Dr. Carmen’s passion, experience, and energy made the webinar deeply engaging. It gave me the opportunity to revisit the entire IM module with fresh eyes and helped broaden my understanding… …I’m looking forward to applying these ideas in my first teaching assignment in the 2025–26 academic year. ”

“Carmen has been an amazing Subject leader and an even better support and friends. Her passion and her human touch really made a difference when we worked together. ”

“Carmen was leading an Induction Training/CPD course for "freshers" when I joined Hockerill Anglo-European College in 2021. Her practical approach to important information helped all of us to integrate smoothly in the company's structure. As an excellent planner and listener, she was able to organise courses and speakers' presentations in the way most appropriate to us at that time and flexibly adjust to any needs and requests we had. I really enjoyed weekly "transfusions" of her experience, confidence and clear vision throughout the whole academic year.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Carmen at Hockerill Anglo-European College. I always enjoyed her training events as I got a lot out of them. Carmen's passion for teaching and learning was always evident. Carmen provided us with ideas and advice for high quality teaching and always introduced us to innovative methods according to the most updated research. She is highly knowledgeable and with her caring approach and professional attitude she has always been an inspiration for me as a teacher, colleague and ECT mentor."
