"The speech you did at my school was so good and really opened my eyes and made me realise I can achieve my goals. It has motivated me to revise and work hard for what I want and not only that, you made me laugh so so much. Thanks to you I feel more confident about my grades and what I want to do when I leave school. Thank you."

what teachers and schools say
95% of teachers are ‘very satisfied’ with Push sessions
"Push delivered an inspirational talk in a manner that relates to the students and that was engaging, informative and amusing in equal measure! On speaking to the students afterwards, they were all very complimentary both about the method of delivery and the message they received. Push also very promptly followed up the delivery with an e-mail to the students outlining the different methods of support available. I am already booking them in for the next talk and cannot recommend them highly enough."

Alex Warburton, Deputy Head, Outwood Academy Brumby, Scunthorpe
"Our students were very grateful to you for clearing up a lot of queries they had."

Uckfield Community Technology College "Push were extremely inspiring and feedback from both students and parents was extremely positive. As a result, we will be booking Push talks in the next academic year." Knutsford Academy "Push got straight onto the students' level and told them things they simply don't take in when it's delivered by a teacher - but from a young and vibrant speaker they really listened." St Philip Howards Sports College "After the talk, students approached me and were begging me to invite Push back in. This is definitely a talk that students will remember for the rest of their lives. Your talk was exhilarating." IAG Coordinator & Teacher of Art, The Boulevard Academy, Hull |
"Excellent presentation from a very humorous and informative presenter."
Seaford Head Community College "Hit the nail on the head. Just what the students needed. We were all fully captivated." Carshalton Boys Sports College "The presentation was outstanding." Kemnal Technology College "Entertaining, engaging, funny and comprehensive." Rosebery School "The presenter was both engaging and informative. Push Talks are outstanding." Windsor Girls' School "Push provided an excellent comical and light hearted introduction to university & employability, as well as bringing across excellent and serious concepts." Herne Bay High School "The talk has helped a lot of students focus their searches and develop much more clear plans for the future." Wellsway School "The presenter really connected with the sixth form students - he was interesting, funny and informative. Most strongly recommended." St Michael's Catholic "Spot on in terms of getting the students engaged in thinking realistically about their future options. They particularly appreciated the presenter's sense of humour which meant that they did not feel they were being lectured to." Ely College 6th Form |
"Push have been an invaluable resource for our PPD curriculum. Their sessions are reliable and informative but most importantly something that our young people engage with. Students ask "When is Moj coming back?" and look forward to attending the sessions."
Molly Baggaley, St Mary's College "Moj from Push delivered some employability sessions to our learners. He was very enthusiastic, motivating and engaged with our learners and also spoke to them on their level. He was very inspirational and got the learners thinking. The learners and staff involved gave very positive feedback after the event." Emily Woodman, East Riding College "Having seen Push talk at another school I had no hesitation in booking them to come to talk to our Year 11s. Push were very accommodating in altering the talk to fit around our specific focus." St Peter's, Exeter "Push sessions provide high quality HE advice that resonates with the students. The presentations to the whole year group and smaller groups were entertaining as well as supporting the school's HE programme and values." Kings Grantham “Much more suited to the audience than teacher talks. The students really enjoyed it.” Hornsey School for Girls "Push give students a lighthearted, unpressured overview of the process of choosing the right uni. They help the students make sense of the daunting process, making it all seem much more achievable." St John the Baptist |
“I've always really enjoyed Push as they engage the audience and make it funny without losing the informative side. I've seen three talks from three separate speakers now, and I like the energy and quirkiness. I want to say something negative but I'm struggling. There are few companies that I recommend to every school I come across, but Push is one of those companies. Informative and funny in equal measure. If you haven't seen Push in action yet, it's not just you who's missing out, it's your students too."
St George's CofE School, Kent
"The students and staff found your session inspiring, funny, and very thought-provoking. You spoke their language and encouraged them to explore more deeply what really matters when making important choices. You helped dispel some of the concerns and general myths around access to higher education, which was great. The content and delivery was exceptional and the best form of careers advice and guidance I have ever seen. Thanks again and I am sure we will be working with you again in the future."
Lynn Ross, HE taster event, Brooksby Melton College, Leicestershire, 2016
“We are extremely grateful to Push for their fantastic presentation. The themes of the session, whilst extremely important, would lose power without the polished, engaging and empowering delivery employed by Push. The College at Sirius invites many guests to speak to our cohort, however, there was a general consensus amongst the students that Push were one of the best they have ever seen. The presenter combined humour, anecdotal evidence and conviction to ensure that his presentation was relatable and his message delivered. A fantastic and thought-provoking event.”
Rick Rhodes, Head of Sixth Form, Sirius Academy
“Moj performed a “love what you do, do what you love” session for our Year 10 students. Our students, understandably can sometimes be skeptical of external speakers, and some find it difficult to ask questions, or perform tasks in front of others, however, within 5 minutes of the session, students were completely captivated, and hanging on every hilarious, yet thought-provoking word Moj spoke. I have never seen an “inspirational speaker” (and I put that in inverted commas, because Moj is so much more than inspirational) with so much energy and so much spoken and un-spoken comedy – but also backed up with a real understanding of careers and the Higher Education system. The amount of students laughing and smiling, whilst really taking in the deeper message of the session was amazing, and really something that I have never seen before, but would love to see again!
"Following the session, students were so enthralled and spellbound by the delivery of the period that we ran into their break-time by a few minutes, they just wanted to hear more! The amount of amazing feedback from staff and students which I overheard in corridors following the activity at Carlton was overwhelming, and we have had a large amount of students filling out evaluation forms wanting more sessions! – “You have to come back for a part 2!” one student writes. “Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!!” (Yes, with 4 exclamation points) another student writes. I could not agree with them more.
"I cannot recommend Push enough to any school, college or HE establishment. The level of engagement and inspiration from the session was truly incredible. Thank you.”
HeppSY+ Administrative Officer, Outwood Academy Carlton / Outwood Academy Shafton, Barnsley
"The Push study skills sessions succeeded in showing students how they could translate everyday experiences into effective revision and time management strategies. The session was really accessible, demonstrating very practical techniques that students can use to support their future academic success - all delivered in a very fun and interactive way!"
