This has been a 'job made easy' as Julia Hickey has produced a well written and presented pack. She has more than met her deadlines and has communicated throughout to check and agree specifics as the work developed. I would work with her again.

Wrote self study packs for teacher training programmes covering areas such as reflective learning journals, learning theories and teaching methodologies.
Reviews for this job by:Julia has written a number of self study packs for the CTLLS and DTLLS programmes at both level 4 and level 5. They have greatly enhanced the learning experience of the students on the course, and all have commented on how useful the packs were. Every student who has used a pack has passed the module. Julia completed these packs in record time, taking into account specific learning needs and styles, with choices of tasks and references to other learning materials. The packs were linked directly to the learning outcomes and module specifications. She works professionally and takes pride in her work - it is first class in terms of quality, accessibility and ease of use. She is very motivated at all times, and this reflects in the packs she created. I was more than satisfied with the packs she created for my department, and these are now used extensively by my teacher education team.. Kind regards Elaine Owen, Curriculum Manager for Teacher Education, Rotherham College
