TESTIMONIALS

“I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Laurie in a number of capacities for over 30 years. He is an outstanding educator, skilled at connecting with young people from all backgrounds. He has vast experience building communities and education spaces in the UK and abroad. Laurie is an innovator, a creator and a dynamic deliverer of formal and informal education. Above all he is a mensch who will always go the extra mile.” 

Adam Dawson (Founder and Patron Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School)

"Laurie is an entertaining, inspirational educator who can hold kids’ attention through a combination of humour, challenge and deep knowledge. He also brings these qualities to what are always memorable professional development sessions that make him a very popular and sought after trainer. He has a warm and open approach and is not afraid to tackle the difficult questions. I would highly recommend him - you won’t be disappointed!" 

Alastair Falk (former Headteacher, Education Consultant)

"I have known Laurie for several years, firstly as the Jewish Representative on Redbridge’s Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SACRE), where his input to discussions on the quality of Religious Education in our schools is always impactful and well considered. Laurie brings warmth, wisdom and a sense of humour to our meetings and he is a valuable member of the SACRE Team.

"I also know Laurie through his voluntary work as a Local Authority Governor at King Solomon High School, where again he brings his positive energy to the role. He is able to provide challenge and support in equal measure and his contributions are invaluable, not least because of his considerable experience in the field of education.

"Finally, Laurie has supported me with my own work on inter-faith dialogue and has recently provided advice and feedback in the editing of some short films made by the London Borough of Redbridge Year 12 Redbridge Ambassadors of Faith & Belief Team."
