"...down-to-earth, realistic advice ... 'I know how difficult starting off in this business can be,' she says, 'but I hope my books can be of some aid to people.'"County Down Spectator - Bangor, August 2006 (Iain Gray)
'Reading The Trainee Teacher's Survival Guide is like having an extremely experienced, knowledgeable and wise mentor who knows the ropes and is more than happy to pass their experience on to you. In other words, the kind of mentor you rarely get in real life... Hazel Bennett uses all of her 30-plus years experience to provide sane, sensible and calm advice... There is much here that would also help an experienced teacher, and it's a goldmine for trainees. I wish I'd read it 30 years ago.' (Times Education Supplement - Scotland)
