Russell S
Russell helped completely change my philosophy grade in a matter of weeks! His knowledge of the course and how to write a good essay -which is what separates a c/b from an A/A* no matter how good your knowledge is - was so helpful, I went into my final exam feeling more confident than I ever had before, and left more confident than I could have imaged all due to his advice. Would recommend to anyone struggling or looking to get top top grades. Was an absolute professional and a lovely man! 10/10
