Student Feedback
Here's what some of our previous participants have said about the workshops:
"I want to continue the 'active' revision techniques mentioned in your workshop on Wednesday last week. Thank you, your workshops are a great help to me."
"I have completed the first essay I have written in probably 30 years. I have to say the preparation you and your colleagues gave me in your lunchtime sessions kept popping in my head each time I started a paragraph. I can categorically say it helped me to produce a structured report in an academic style. I will carry this structure to all my essays."
