Tutor support helps student succeed- with a 98% exam score

We recently received these comments from a former student which we reproduce with kind permission:

"I did the level 2 computerised bookkeeping course through your College and had Caroline as my tutor.

Bear in mind, when considering what I have to say, that I was an academic with the OU for 20 years, was involved in writing courses, and also tutored students.

I have done a lot of study in my time and I would like to say that studying with the College has been one my best educational experiences.

The course material was excellent, the assignments and practice exam extremely helpful and Caroline was the best tutor I have come across. She is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Her comments on my queries were timely and exceptional, and it was in no small part due to her support that I was able to pass my exam with 98%.

She not only does her tutoring job well, but clearly takes an interest in her students. She even offered (unbidden) invaluable help with my L2 manual exam which I did today (even though I had studied it with another college). You have a star tutor in Caroline and I hope the College appreciates how much she contributes to its high quality image.

I have not copied these comments to Caroline, but I hope you will convey them, and my appreciation, to her."

What do our students say?

Julie Nettleford - Liverpool

"The support I received from my tutor was fantastic. It's great to get help over the phone or by email instead of having to go into a college building everyday; that would have been a struggle as I was employed full-time. I'd simply email a question to her, and I'd have a reply for when I got back home from work - problem solved."
