"100% interactive and inspiring"

My child is always excited to attend Sparking STEM Practical Science sessions. Amanda has extensive subject knowledge; every session is meticulously planned and prepared. The sessions are as suitable as a detailed first introduction to a scientific idea, as for hands on practical experimentation of concepts already studied. Amanda’s warmth and enthusiasm inspire young people to take part, and her creativity ensures that all sessions are interactive and accessible for those with varied learning styles to learn together. We cannot recommend Sparking STEM highly enough!

"Sparking STEM…"

A really great experience for our child.
Fun and interactive practical sessions. With great STEM experiments.Was true to it's name in Sparkling curiosity for STEM.

"Excellent high quality science classes"

Excellent high quality science classes. Thrilled how brilliant the experience was for our child and will be recommending to everyone. Amanda has a lovely warm, welcoming way that puts every student at ease.

"Just really bloomin' good!"

We've tried both outdoor stem and indoor practical classes and my son, who is quite particular about classes in general, has had a blast. He's been able to engage in depth in subjects that he enjoys and as a result, the topics he's less focused on have had a good look in as well. Amanda is very engaged, experienced and really develops sessions that bring out the best in the young people she works with. I don't think my son realises the amount of work that goes into these sessions, it's all quite seamless and fun for him! I recommended them to another parent in person today and will continue to do so with anyone who even vaguely mentions science and kids.

"It was very fun and I liked making my own slide and it was very funny when you showed us how to handle a microscope!" From my 8 year old daughter

"Engaging sessions & a passionate teacher"

My son has SENeeds and Amanda has been great in working with us to help him get the most out of the sessions. She clearly cares a lot and the activities are really engaging.

"My daughter loves her necklace and…"

My daughter loves her necklace and really loved that she could watch the video of the snake that provided the shed. She has not stopped wearing it since she got it. My messages were answered really quickly, I would definitely buy from sparking stem again.

"Another great science gift idea from Amanda"

Brilliant Magic Materials kit. Purchased for Christmas but sneakily watched the instructional video before wrapping. So inspiring, I just know my science mad child is going to love it.

"Beautiful gifts for Christmas"

Beautiful gifts for Christmas. We adore the tree decorations and snakey keyrings. Such different gifts and beautifully made and boxed..

"Outstanding child-centred teaching"

Amanda is an outstanding teacher. My two children have been attending her classes for several years now and they always come home thoroughly enthused and happy to explain whatever they've been learning about. Highly recommended.
