Wednesday May 2023
Brilliant tutor, really great at helping me understand things.
Tat Shun Dickson - Justin- Common Entrance - Admissions
Sunday March 2023
Really poor experience. You send reminders but don’t allow time in advance to get ready for the session. Your browser based tool was not compatible with Micotosft’s Edge. We then moved upstairs to a Mac to discover it doesn’t work with Safari and yet more than 1 billion people on the planet use it? No ability to test the service in advance (despite your claim that you could in your help. The only option we had was to open classroom which was not triggered until the tutor came online. We wasted 15 minutes of the session just trying to be able to communicate with the tutor. Despite this being an assessment session we received no clear next steps or recommendations from the tutor of a programme. A waste of £95.

One of the best tutors so far. Boosted my CV and gave me helpful advice on how to improve my application. I am very pleased with the lesson.
