Excellent content writing service. Highly recommend!

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Chris on one of our European projects. Within this esteemed initiative, Chris and his team have made significant contributions to the development of English online course content tailored specifically for Erasmus students. ThornLearning team consistently meets deadlines with promptness and remains receptive to feedback, consistently generating inventive approaches to create good learning material. Chris is friendly, collaborative, hard working which makes collaborating with him an absolute delight.

Great writer, presenter and teacher trainer

I’ve commissioned Chris to write and present several webinars for Cambridge English. Chris has always been highly creative and knowledgeable as a teacher trainer, and I’ve found him a pleasure to work with. He’s always responded in good time to deadlines and is responsive to feedback, coming up with creative ways to present exam material to teachers around the world. The webinar attendees all said that he’s an engaging and clear presenter – something I’d whole-heartedly agree with!

Very happy indeed

I've worked with Chris on a number of teacher development projects now and always found him to be knowledgeable, conscientious and supremely easy to work with. He's also highly skilled in a wide range of areas - ELT, e-learning and multimedia design among them - which I've found very useful. Would have no hesitation in contracting him again. Thanks Chris!

Very satisfied with Chris's online tutoring

Chris Thorn was an online tutor for one of our online programmes from April to December 2022. Over that time his work was always excellent. He ran webinars, tutorials and gave feedback on assignments and supported course participants in other ways as well. His work was always to a very high standard, he was reliable and flexible, and helped out on a number of occasions when we needed additional support. We'll definitely be working with Chris again.

Fantastic!

I've commissioned Chris to write a number of teacher resources for Cambridge English including lesson plans, guides to help teachers with exam preparation and webinars for our global webinar series. Not only was Chris a joy to work with but the quality of his work was outstanding. He demonstrated a real understanding of teacher needs when preparing students for exams and used his expertise to create informative, practical and engaging materials for teachers around the world. I would definitely recommend him and hope we can work together again soon!
