Testimonials

Francesca

Working with Rob has made writing essays enjoyable! Before I started my sessions with him, I was barely passing my Master's course essays and experiencing significant dread and headaches while writing. Given my dyslexia and the many years since I last wrote essays during my A-Levels, writing felt like an insurmountable challenge. Rob taught me valuable skills in writing, structuring paragraphs, and understanding how to critique, be concise, and clear in my work. With Rob's guidance, I received a distinction on my last essay! Most importantly, I now enjoy the writing process, and I feel that, with Rob's help, I have grown in both confidence and ability.

Anita

As a mature student I struggled with the academic requirements of the MA in psychotherapy programme but having the support and guidance of Rob gave me the confidence to continue on the course. Rob had the wonderful ability to build up my confidence and my essay writing skills with gentle and patient encouragement. He was always generous with his time and showed genuine pleasure when I succeeded. I will always be grateful to him.

I have worked with Rob from the beginning of my PhD journey through to the end. From the start he was instrumental in helping me reach a high standard of academic excellence. He was attentive, engaged, committed and provided insightful and useful feedback. He also helped me develop my academic writing skills and develop my self-confidence with his gentle and positive manner of motivating me as a student and individual. He was patient and reliable. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had Rob at my side throughout my doctoral journey. He was a positive influence throughout and never once let me down. I am so grateful to Rob.

I am immensely grateful for the exceptional support and guidance provided by Rob. His insightful feedback and constructive advice significantly enhanced the quality of my work. Beyond academic assistance, he also played a crucial role in helping me manage my stress levels. His approachable and empathetic nature created a supportive environment where I felt comfortable discussing my challenges. This holistic support was instrumental in my academic and personal growth. He has made a lasting impact on my educational journey, and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from such an exceptional educator.​

Marta

Thanks for your vital support with my essays. I used to get very anxious about them, write too much, read too much and struggle to meet deadlines. Thanks to our regular meetings, sense of humour and clear guidelines for structure and writing, I learned to work in a completely different way and finish them in better shape. Both them, with better grades, and me!

Ashley

Rob has been incredibly helpful whilst studying for my MA. He’s supported me with assignment submissions, helping to craft the structure as well as finding resources to assist with my research. Beyond the academic side of things, he has also supported me in managing stress and anxiety.

​

Elizabeth

Without Rob’s assistance, support and advice I would not have been successful with my academic assignments. His encouragement helped me to feel more and more confident in my academic ability. He provided a lot of valuable feedback on my draft essays, which helped me to better formulate my thoughts and encouraged me to think critically and how I could write more effectively.

Cassandra

Rob has helped me with my essays that I found very messy and unconnected. I learned how to form paragraphs that lead into each other and how to make my essay make sense! He is patient and a great listener. I definitely recommend him.

Miriam

Rob has given me really helpful advice and pointers for my academic essays on planning, structure and editing. His support definitely had a positive impact on my grades - thank you!
