What our customers say about Espresso

A really good opportunity to escape subject bound restraints and move into a cross-curricular format.

I imagine one day we'll wonder what we ever did without it.

This is going to change the way we teach - everything a teacher could need is here. It will save us so much money and time - brilliant!

We feel it is worth spending all our e-credits on the service as it is so beneficial to all areas of the curriculum. It is a service which has the needs of teachers/pupils at the forefront; we use it as a tool to help children practice a learning objective and the service matches National Curriculum coverage- it is also up to date!

Espresso is excellent! Whatever topic you are doing, there is always a range of exciting materials to use to stimulate and motivate the children. I have used the materials with children from Reception to Year 6 with equally exciting results. My current class particularly like the weekly NewsBites and quiz sections and this has really kept them up to date with current affairs. The assemblies have also been very welcome. Espresso makes lessons appealing and particularly accessible to children who are kinaesthetic learners.

I think the whole package is excellent value for money and provides us with access to an extremely large and flexible resource, not available anywhere else.

Espresso makes e-learning and teaching easy by providing easy quick access to video clips, still photographs and articles all linked to the National Curriculum and QCA. Teachers love using it as it really brings subjects to life. Even our technophobes are big fans of Espresso.

Espresso has its "finger on the pulse" of the major current developments in thinking and learning. It has embraced Speaking and Listening, Questioning and more recently Mind Mapping. It is a dynamic resource which suits the teaching and learning styles in our school. Espresso remains a cost effective resource.

An excellent resource which can lift up any topic and give a breath of fresh air into the work.

Espresso is brilliant, it has video clips and activities linked to just about everything you would want, saving a huge amount of planning time! I especially like the real life numeracy problem solving videos and activities.

If you're the kind of teacher who keeps on reinventing the wheel...check Espresso resources first...they've done it and saved it for you! A great time saver...to jazz up lessons and enthuse the kids!
Katie Allen, ICT Co-ordinator, Edwalton Primary School, Nottinghamshire

Espresso is used every day in our classrooms. It is used for whole class teaching on the interactive whiteboard and for group work. The children find the wealth of resources stimulating and inspiring. The teachers find it an invaluable resource on any topic they are studying. It is particularly good on current affairs and is continually updated.
Pip Forth, ICT Co-Ordinator Subject Leader, Henham & Ugley Primary School, Essex

Easy to use even when ICT is not a strong point! Lots to use for KS1 - written specifically for young children (unlike a lot of material on the web).
Hilary Hall, Thorpe Acre Infants, Leicestershire

This is the most exciting ICT development I have seen in ages. I'm desperate to get this going on in school. This is the answer to our lack of cross-curricular ICT!

Espresso has had a positive impact on teaching and learning at Brooke Hill. It is a fun and interactive resource that both children and teachers love to use. Whilst we thought that the initial cost was expensive, we can say that Espresso is the only IT resource that all teachers in the school have used. It is an up-to-date resource that just keeps on growing and improving to meet our needs.

Less IT literate teachers have found Espresso easy to use, and using it has given them the confidence and skills to really embed the use of IT into their teaching. Of all content delivery software/programs we have, it is without doubt the first adopted and embedded into teaching, especially by the 'luddites'. The most innovative aspects of Espresso are that it works, and every teacher uses it.

Espresso hits the mark with it's balance of curriculum content and multimedia assets, which allow teachers to follow a prepared module, create their own learning path within Espresso or generate their own high quality resources.

Superb! I am absolutely inspired and as a consultant, it has made me want to go back into schools and try it out with the children. It is an excellent resource and can only enhance and inspire learning and teaching.

Stunning! I wish I had a class to practice on! The materials are easy to use and navigate. The up to date nature of the resources will be invaluable.

It has certainly developed since the last time I saw it. There is a wealth of useful material that could be used across the curriculum.

Fantastic! It will change the face of teaching - motivating and high quality resources for kids that will save teachers lots of time.

The schools in Kings Cross EAZ place high value on Espresso. Teachers find it very easy to use and appealing to infants, juniors and secondary school pupils alike. After only six months of use, it is something which we could not do without.
