ColleagueTheo has a warm, approachable manner that puts people at ease. He is patient, encouraging, and goes out of his way to make sure everyone around him feels included and supported. He has the patience, creativity, and attentiveness that younger learners require, and I am confident he would know how to keep students engaged through a screen. He is mindful of creating a safe, supportive environment, and I have no hesitation in endorsing him for work with children.
