"Gareth Cheesman delivers our RSE sessions across all year groups, and the quality of his provision is exceptional. He demonstrates outstanding subject knowledge and presents content in a way that is clear, engaging, and highly informative. His lessons are interactive and genuinely thought-provoking, encouraging students to reflect, ask questions, and develop a deeper understanding of the topics covered. Gareth has a remarkable ability to tailor every session to the appropriate age and developmental stage, ensuring that all material is delivered sensitively and at exactly the right level for each year group. Our students respond extremely positively to his approach, and staff consistently praise the professionalism and impact of his work. We are incredibly fortunate to have him supporting our RSE provision."

"Gareth is extremely knowledgeable and keeps himself up-to-date with RSE topics. He adapts his approach to suit any setting or young people he works with. He is very creative with his ideas and interacts well with people of all ages. I thoroughly enjoy working alongside him and have benefitted both professionally (as an educator) and personally (as a parent) from his expertise."

"Good use of engaging conversation Issues discussed were very current. Allowed opportunity to speak with other staff about their experience." (Everyone’s Invited freelance work - Teacher Training) 

We have worked with Gareth for a number of years and he has delivered RSE sessions the young people at Ancora House School and training for the education team and the wider multidisciplinary team. Gareth has a wealth of knowledge and has the ability to deliver potentially ‘embarrassing’ topics in a safe, non-judgemental and informative way with some of the most vulnerable learners. Gareth listens to staff and young people to ensure that his sessions are appropriate to the audience. He uses teaching methods that are accessible to all  to create a positive learning experience.

"At Youthscape we benefit enormously from Gareth’s expertise and experience — not just in the subjects he addresses, but in the way he instinctively understands how young people actually learn and engage. He’s consistently ahead of the curve, combining sharp critical thinking with a grounded awareness of what’s really happening in youth culture and in the world of sexual health. Gareth has that rare ability to hold complex, sensitive issues with both clarity and compassion, making them accessible and genuinely transformative for young people. What also sets him apart is his understanding of the varied contexts youth practitioners and teachers are navigating. He recognises the role of faith, ethos, and community in how young people make decisions, and he handles those dynamics with care and intelligence — equipping professionals to approach difficult conversations with confidence, wisdom, and integrity."
