- Did we mention our Aquatic Train the Tutor is Lynn Goring-Crook!?

Lynn is fun in her teaching, passionate in how she delivers and a big believer that Further Education in the Skill Sector tutors need to be learner centered with a big dose of magical teaching and learning activities laced in so individuals learn best! She is a busy lady and much sought after by operators, swim schools and schools to deliver qualifications and CPDs about a range of subjects but the STA tutors course is hands down her favourite to deliver and she wants new tutors to be fabulous. To add to this from 2020 onwards she found a new passion in delivering online and has worked hard with education technology to offer unrivaled learner experiences online. Lynn is a 21st-century tutor championing the radical idea that extraordinary nurturing in education forms the rockin' bedrock for achieving greatness and we want you to learn from her.....not only this but she isn't perfect and wont be afraid to say so, meaning you can learn from her mistakes also! ;-)
