Discover Your Learning Intelligence

Eva Hoffman For over 40 years Eva's life has been revolving around teaching and learning: doing it, talking about it, writing about it and living it. In her long teaching career she has worked with children and teenagers in schools, with university students, and with teachers, teacher trainers, social workers and parents, always passionately promoting mind-and-heart-friendly approaches to teaching and learning. Eva's work has taken her not only all around the United Kingdom but also to Argentina, Holland, Indonesia, Italy, Northern Ireland, Poland, Scotland, Spain, Sweden and the United States, where she has been facilitating countless workshops, running in-service teacher training courses and appearing at numerous conferences as keynote speaker and presenter. Her recent passion is working with teenagers: motivating them and sharing with them most effective learning and revising strategies. She is the co-founder of Learn to Learn, Inspired Learning, and the founder of Eva Hoffman Education. Eva is the author and co-author of 20 practical books on learning, motivating, teaching and parenting. Martin Hoffman Martin Hoffman is a man of many trades but most important he is a musician, a master in repairing flutes and a music teacher. His interest in the 'learning brain' and new ideas revolving around the ways we learn (and teach!) led him to become a partner first in Learn to Learn and later in Inspired Learning, companies devoted to 'spreading the word' about mind-and-heart-friendly learning. For the last 15 years Martin has been involved in producing a great variety of training materials as well as in editing books focused on teaching and learning published by Abundance Books. He is also the co-author of Motivating the Teenage Mind, published by Speechmark Publishing. Martin lives in Cheshire with his wife Sarah and two teenage children.
