Tom B
I had a half hour lesson with Tom for feedback on my personal statement, and the advice and guidance I was given was invaluable! Tom is a highly professional and helpful tutor, who goes above and beyond to ensure his student is very well supported. My lesson was followed up with detailed written feedback as well a list of many resources to help me further. For a half hour lesson, I don’t think I expected such support. I strongly recommend Tom as a Journalism/English tutor!
