“Just wanted to pass on a few words of thanks for all your help with T4 after passing first time with you. Not only was your level of knowledge about the case study hugely

impressive, but this was also reflected in your spot on mock exams which picked up on all of the subjects in the exam, I found the feedback from the mock exams very useful” .

“Being able to email you when I wasn't sure of something was excellent and you always

replied very promptly. Also the updates on real life examples throughout was a great bonus and helped me target my diversity marks. I cannot praise you, your teaching style or the learning environment in which you taught enough. Quite frankly you're a legend, and I

just want to say a huge thank you”.
