We really value our relationships with the teachers we work with. We thought you may enjoy hearing from them.
“As any English teacher will testify, preparing innovative, relevant and academically rigorous lessons is always the desire, but is often sacrificed to the relentless demands of the job. What a joy it has been to use the Achieve Careers manuals and be exposed to interesting and relevant texts, and engage with contemporary issues, all sourced and beautifully presented!”
Frances Stimson, HOD of English, Grace College
“The Achieve Careers content is lively, highly interactive and relevant. The texts comply with the SAGS/CAPS standards in both length and complexity. The selection of texts and visual material reflects a diversity of ethnic, gender, age and social voices to lend a wide appeal.”
Johan Rich, Eastern Cape Dept. of Education, Former Chief Education Specialist
“We use Achieve Careers as the programme is always relevant, modern and very interesting, allowing our girls to identify with the material quite readily, as the resources used to cover the content fit neatly within their frame of reference.”
Sharmila Gordon, Herschel Girls School
“Learners enjoy the interactive approach and lessons are therefore varied and stimulating. The ‘anti-textbook’ content is fresh, relevant and thought-provoking, enabling mature and enthusiastic discussions.”
Teresa Voorendyk, St David’s Marist, Inanda
