Testimonials from Teachers

"Lizzie gave an amazing workshop and presentation to the school which was the highlight of our Book Week. Lizzie's story, her description of the work that goes into creating a character and her ability to connect with pupils of all ages makes her an outstanding speaker for junior and senior schools alike. Her effervescent personality, sparky approach and enthusiasm carries the session along and includes the pupils also developing their own vocal talents.

A brilliant workshop presented by someone many of the pupils know and can relate to through her cartoon work. I can highly recommend Lizzie for your school."


– David Kendall, Headteacher of QEH Junior School, Bristol

"We were lucky enough to have a visit from Lizzie on 2nd November 2021 as part of our Aspiring Authors Writing Week. Lizzie spoke to the children in all classes from Y1 to Y6 and was engaging with each class. Children had the chance to ask questions and Lizzie explained how she got into the world of being a voice artist. The children really enjoyed hearing the voices that Lizzie performs as part of her job. Each session with Lizzie was packed with fun, enthusiasm and was inspiring to all. Lizzie emphasised the importance of using our talents, whatever they may be, to inspire us in our future careers. Quite a lot of children were trying out different voices after the session, inspired by Lizzie’s talk. I would highly recommend Lizzie as an engaging speaker for your school."

– Amanda Lambert, Year 4 Teacher/KS2 Lead, St Thomas’ CE Primary School, Stockport.

"The sessions went very well. The timings were good and Lizzie was amazing! The boys were engaged and participated well. There even was time for a Q & A session at the end. The boys were raving about it all day and I had a few messages from parents and staff thanking me for organising such a wonderful event. Can’t thank you enough."

– Mrs M Ruffino, QEH Junior School Librarian

"The event went really well and Lizzie was fantastic. I think all the children (and parents) loved hearing about Lizzie’s journey and hearing her speak as Horrid Henry."

– Jenny Regan, PA to Head of Junior School, St Margaret's School

"Lizzie has a terrific way of helping folks overcome natural fears about speaking in front of others, and this book very much captures her spirit and energy. She draws on her professional knowledge and experience to treat the topic seriously while also making it fun."


– James Tierney, Yale University English Language Program

"The day went really well, Lizzie was so engaging for the children and they clearly enjoyed her workshop on creating monsters for a video game (and obviously presenting their own creations to her!). Thank you so much for organising for us!"

– Jack Matthews, Head of Year 6 & 6JM Form Tutor, The Blue Coat School Birmingham

"Lizzie was absolutely brilliant! Lizzie made World Book Day for us this year! All of her workshops and her assembly was great - the children (and staff!) loved it all. She was also super flexible on the day as we squeezed a few extra things in so more of our children could meet her."

– Miss Vicki Collin, Assistant Headteacher, Springfield Primary School
