Sparking STEM Reviews 

With snake mad girls in our house the SnaKey keyrings were a great hit. So lovely to find a different gift that educates and looks beautiful. They loved looking up the back story to the snake skin with the handy card that Sparking Stem include.
We shall certainly be purchasing more for other people. What a unique gift!
We love something different in a world filled with plastic and we get to support a small business. Perfect.

I absolutely love these SnaKey Rings. I bought 3 - gold, blue and green and they are amazing. Beautifully made with incredible colours. What a ingenious idea.

I recently purchased a gold SnakeKey ring and a Suncatcher set from Sparking STEM. The pictures on the website do not do them justice at all, I suspect it was quite tricky to capture just how beautiful the colours are! My 13 year old recommends looking at the SnakeKey Ring under a pocket microscope (also available on the Sparking STEM website!) as it looks "really cool"!
Both the SnakeKey Ring and Suncatchers come with QR codes that link to online videos for further information - all videos are clear, concise and expertly presented, the whole family enjoyed watching them!
If you're looking for a present for any Science-loving folks I'd definitely recommend the SnakeKey Ring and Suncatchers!

Wow! Where do I start. I enrolled my daughter onto Amanda’s 11-15 year old sessions after taking part in a taster session. The sessions are well organised with the topics and list of equipment needed sent out when you book. The children are allowed to participate as much or as little as they like and when and if they do Amanda always acknowledges their effects which is lovely. The sessions are so informative, I’ve even learnt things myself from listening in! The experiments are well thought through to heighten the learning objective for the children and it’s fantastic to see the children faces when they succeed. All in all Amanda is an amazing tutor and the sessions are well worth the money. One very happy parent and child, thank you so much.

I did Biology iGCSE practical sessions with Sparking Stem before my exam. The sessions were very well resourced and delivered. It was good to put my theory learning into practice and helped me to get a high mark in my subsequent exam. I would recommend Sparking Stem, Amanda is supportive and knowledgeable. Walter, 16.

Amanda's sessions are really inspiring and interesting as she loves her subjects, is very knowledgeable to a high level, and so obviously enjoys teaching. She makes the sessions as hands on as possible, will answer any questions and is kind, calm and really great with the young people. My daughter went on to get top marks in her IGCSE biology and chemistry and her sessions with Amanda really helped with this as she gained a deep understanding of the scientific approach and an enjoyment of the topics having done so much practical and group work and exploration, not just book learning. You can't beat it.

It was the best experience for my homeschooled son Ahmed Y7
He was looking forward for the session every week.
Amanda’s teaching was brilliant and the locations were amazing and family friendly.
Thank you Amanda.

Having signed up for Amanda’s online classes , which my son looks forward to more than any other lesson in an average week, a position became available for an outdoor class. Although we made a mistake this end , Amanda was so very accommodating, making sure my son didn’t miss out. Great teacher that makes learning fun and so much more interesting 🌟

My daughter has been attending Sparking Stem for a number of years and loves the sessions.
The lessons are engaging and fun and always really well organised.
Amanda is fantastic with the children and her enthusiasm is infectious.
I would highly recommend to anyone considering booking.

My daughter really enjoys the sessions. They are one of the highlights of her week.

Amanda does an amazing job of making the sessions hands on fun so they're busy and active, while learning.

There is a wide scope to areas / topics covered and it's wonderful how much can be learnt and experienced using the natural environment.

The children often work in pairs / small groups, so great for them learning to work together.

My two children have joined Sparking STEM for the last 3 terms. They both really enjoy outdoor and online STEM. Amanda is a great teacher, very knowledgeable and engaging. She explains the topics to their own level and makes it fun for them. She has inspired my children to do their own experiments at home. I couldn't ask for more.

Amanda is a professional, fun and engaging teacher. Her sessions are always well thought through and specifically tailored to the ages she is teaching. During lockdown Amanda adapted Sparking Stem online to amazing effect.
It is clear that Amanda spends a lot of time preparing each lesson and that she enjoys them as much as the children.

My son has really enjoyed these outdoor lessons and is always enthusiastic about what he has been learning. We’ve appreciated the thoughtfulness with which Amanda plans each session.

Amanda was recommended to us for tuition. Olly found the sessions very helpful as he hadn’t felt confident in Biology and Amanda quickly understood the reasons why, working on content and technique. He gained much more confidence and moved up a couple of predicted grades! She was professional and resourceful. We were very thankful for her help.

Amanda is an excellent teacher, who is knowledgeable, engaging and fun. She has built a wonderful rapport with our son who has attended both her outdoor and online sessions for two years. He has flourished under her tutelage and I thoroughly recommend Sparking STEM.

My sons have both thoroughly enjoyed coming to Sparking Stem sessions. Learning through hands on real life science is a fantastic way to give them skills for life that are so much more than academic. I would not hesitate to recommend Sparking Stem for any young scientist and explorer.

My daughter loved the outdoor stem sessions with Amanda.she found them fun and a great way to learn science. Eve
