In Tandem Cathy Sparkes and Sam Simpson

intandem offers a teaching and facilitation approach that includes the core skills of:

• Listening
• Guiding
• Reflecting
• Problem solving
• Challenging
• Collaborative learning

Within the four areas of higher education, training, supervision and consultancy we aim to use these core skills in a flexible and timely way.

We believe in:

• Valuing your skills and knowledge
• Respecting your individual context
• Understanding your perspectives
• Making explicit the links between theory and practice
• Offering tangible bridges to enable changes in your work practice
• Negotiation and choice

We do NOT believe in:

• A ‘recipe book’ approach i.e. one that suits all
• Telling you what you want
• Telling you what to do
• Being the only expert in the room and having all the answers
