Testimonials: Private 1:1 Study Skills teacher 2023-2024
“Throughout my time working with Les I was working towards finishing my finals. It was an extremely overwhelming and stressful time that I struggled with greatly on my own. Les was the most amazing support. Not only were Les’s uplifting mood, words of encouragement and brilliant advice (academically and life!) just what I needed to get me through this time, but her ‘wrap around’ academic skills, support, planning, proof reading and endless amounts of word cutting and refining advice and strategies were invaluable to my essays and work handed in. I cannot thank Les enough. What ever I needed she could help me with. Her understanding of my academic struggles and her professional manner was the biggest comfort and relief when I did not think I could tackle my assignments, and without Les I certainly would not have reached my full potential at University!”
