Dr Aric Sigman

Testimonials

“.... excellent. Overall a 10 out of 10!”
Lucy Leakey, Assistant Head, Wellingborough School

"Aric was absolutely brilliant. His presentation was spot on for the years groups he spoke to and was very well received by all. It really was a priveledge to have him in the school and we would thoroughly recommend him to others."
Zanna Wilson-Brown, The King’s School Bruton

"Aric's presentation is a lively, no holds barred look at the issue of alcohol and young people. He is unafraid to challenge social conditioning and peer-led behaviour, and does so with intelligence, humour, a wry nod to trans-atlantic stereotypes and scientific conviction. His enthusiasm is engaging, and his pacy coverage of the health impact of drinking set the risks in terms his audience (Year 13) could relate to."
Head of Boarding, Marlborough College
 
“All groups found him engaging, funny and he pitched the talks at appropriate levels for the age group. The parents found it very useful for someone to explain the latest research in alcohol education and much time was spent on questions”
Clare Denlegh-Maxwell, Haileybury School
 
“Aric was really excellent and the students have been talking about his presentation since. He got the balance between science, fun, seriousness, interactivity and humour just right and he put across very well a message which is always going to have young people folding their arms and rolling their eyes”
Ian Morris, Wellington College
 
“The talk went very well - Aric is a very engaging speaker and the boys and staff learnt a lot. He did a good job of educating them without patronising them”
Alison Eastman, City of London School

“Aric’s talk had them hooked. He did not patronise them, nor did he preach. He gave them the facts in an entertaining and thought-provoking way, with just the right amount of science - some of which was at the cutting edge.”
Stephen Wainde, Tonbridge School

“The talk by Aric yesterday on Electronic Media was excellent; one of the very best we have had this term. I’m truly grateful to you for persuading him to do a  non PHSE talk – it was tremendously intellectually stimulating and has provoked an enormous amount of productive discussion subsequently. He had obviously put a great deal of work into it.”
Russell Dudley-Smith, Westminster School

“The feedback from the boys was excellent, they really felt Aric spoke on their level and particularly for this school they enjoyed the academic element of backing up statements with recent research.”
Adrian Woodman, The Royal Grammar School Guildford
