Live from the studio
Hannah teaches live from our studio in the evenings: walking talking mocks for your students, CPD for your department, revision evenings for families. Every session is recorded for the people who booked it.
Coming up
The next dates go here as soon as they are fixed. Get our emails to hear when they are listed, or ask us about a date for your school.
How a live session works
Before the session you get what you need to take part. For a walking talking mock, your teachers receive the student paper and answer sheet the day before, stamped with your school’s name. For a marking clinic, you send us three anonymised scripts five working days ahead, through a secure upload page.
On the night you open the link from your booking email, in a hall on the big screen or at home. Students watch; they cannot type or be seen. At school and trust sessions your teachers can send Hannah a question through the page, and a moderator checks each one before it appears. Family sessions have no questions panel.
Afterwards the recording is ready within 24 hours. A school keeps it until the end of the term; a family can watch it for 14 days.
If something goes wrong on our side, we send the recording within 24 hours or refund you in full. The refunds policy has the details.

Prices are per session, plus VAT. A school can show the broadcast to its own students and staff on its own site.
