Testimonials

I was extremely impressed with the way Esmail conducted his sessions with a Y12 cohort at Whalley Range High School. The pacing and content of these sessions was perfect; offering just the right amount of time and information for students to engage and learn from it. One thing that stood out was his ability to encourage participation from the class, often selecting individual students to engage with activities and offering support without spoon feeding them. I feel that the class gained a well formed understanding of basic BSL by then end of these sessions and I can highly recommend Esmail Patel to anyone looking to provide sessions on British Sign Language.

Esmail has delivered a variety of sessions to GMYN’s NCS programme, both in person and virtually, on public speaking, overcoming barriers, and an introduction to BSL. The response from young people and partners is always fantastic, Esmail is a pleasure to work with!
During our Autumn NCS programme we had a visit from an MP and the NCS Trust CEO during Esmail’s session, and the programme was awarded the NCS Trust’s Programme Of The Season across the whole country, with young people citing Esmail’s session in their positive feedback about the programme.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

GREATER MANCHESTER YOUTH NETWORK
A group of our Year 12 students had the opportunity to take part in Esmail’s 6-week BSL course and had an extremely positive experience overall. Esmail led the sessions in a professional and engaging manner, which put the students at ease and encouraged them to build their confidence week by week. Esmail’s enthusiasm was infectious all throughout the course and we all found ourselves actively looking forward to Thursdays when he would come in for his weekly sessions. By the end of the course, it was a delight to see the students having short conversations with each other in sign, and I am certain this experience of meeting Esmail and learning a new skill will have a lasting impact on them. Needless to say, it was quite difficult to say goodbye upon completion of the course and many of the students wanted to continue for longer. I would welcome back Esmail any time and can’t speak highly of his course to recommend to other young people. Not only is BSL an invaluable skill to acquire, but the course also encourages students to show empathy and deepen their understanding of the challenges that the deaf community deals with.
All the best,

WHAT OUT CLEINTS SAY

MANCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
I feel that the course is structured in a way that is achievable to complete within the set time frame. The resources are easily readable and understandable to those who are participating in completing BSL Level 1.
Us as students are never waiting on resources, and have them available with plenty of notice to help us prepare with revision.
Teaching;
Elaine's patience and confidence in students is absolutely brilliant, this approach allows us to believe that we have learnt far more than we think, especially for people like myself struggling to do so, whilst also creating a relaxed atmosphere which prevents students from stressing.
I felt that any topics/words I was struggling with would be addressed and tweaked, so I was able to progress with the course, at a speed both I and Elaine felt comfortable with.
Elaine is a credit to Interpreting Solutions 2UK and I would not hesitate recommending the course and Elaine as a teacher to anyone.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

DERBYSHIRE POLICE
I really enjoyed the course. Elaine's teaching style is really good and made it very easy to understand and pick up. I imagine it was harder with it being online and sometimes it was difficult to get the hang of some signs and it was sometimes confusing with which way round etc.
Other than that I think the online worked well….
I was surprised about how in depth the course was for level 1 and I thought it was actually really good doing the different topics so you can actually get by in a conversation and it was nice to learn your topics and other words that you threw in. It meant that any conversations weren’t completely robotic and limited to a small vocab!
Overall it was really good, you’re a really good teacher and made it very laid back and enjoyable

DERBYSHIRE POLICE
The course was enjoyable and interesting throughout and my tutor Elaine was very friendly, approachable and accommodating to students, She is a fantastic tutor (very funny) and I owe her a lot. The staff that I met as a whole were very nice and a good team. I am also pleased to have (since passing my Level 1) secured a new job working within the deaf community. I am grateful to Elaine and Interpreting Solutions as the course helped me to communicate with the deaf community and I believe it gave me the confidence to pursue a change of career and do a job that I love. Thanks Again

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

BSL LEVEL 1 - STUDENT
I have recently been asked to do my level one training in BSL, as part of my job as a police officer, at Derbyshire police.
I have been really impressed with the way Esmail and his team has helped and supported me though this training.
They have always found the time to work around my shift and other life commitments and best of all they are some of the most friendly people I have met.
I will be looking to do my level 2 training as soon as I can and will be looking to do this with Esmail and his team.
