One step ahead?

In last nights episode of the Simpsons, Marge told Bart she could make money by giving piano lessons, "but you don't know how to play piano!" said Bart....
"I only need to keep one lesson ahead of the pupil" replied Marge.
Often a common approach in education where experience and knowledge should power the best education, not a quick flick through the textbook moments before the bell!
As a consultant I can help you hone your skills, link to other areas and consider how to build on what you know... I have occasionally just gone in and run an event by myself. they work, and have the desired effect, and I am delighted to be paid for them. Preferably though consulting involves interaction with the students and teachers, both building up solid transferable skills... and gaining in confidence. Confidence does not rub off by standing next to a Consultant, it happens through working with them!
