It kept me on track 90% of the time, and that is not easy to do ! . I felt that I was taking a " proper course that does what it says on the tin ".

Andy

"You've been a great tutor too. I'm gonna do the course feedback soon and send it, and I'll be all ready for my certificate! Although I am also going to do the 30 hour Grammar course starting next week, cos i definitely need polishing in this aspect. It's funny, I read your message about teaching English in Madrid the other day, well that's exactly my plan (and has been for quite a while now!) Those websites you posted may come in very handy for finding work. Thanks again and all the best..."

Andrew

"I really appreciate your help your speed of marking has been remarkable. Your advice is spot on I have not told my work that I was doing the course out of fear of what could happen. Honestly I have adapted the same sleeping pattern as Margaret Thatcher in her Prime. Sometimes its felt like my body been crumbling, my eyes often feel like they were bleeding and joints aching. I was not allowed to do English when I was in school so Yes I am very proud. When I did my GCSE English at Night school I was proud but I am even more proud today as this course is 1000 times harder.

Again, thanks Tim I will send you an email when I get a job."
Thomas

The feedback was excellent and very helpful."

The lessons are well planned, and all of the content provided is easy to understand and digest. The course really makes you think and take part. The lessons I have enjoyed the most are no's 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11."
