The [diagnostic] assessment was done in a professional and friendly way which helped to reduce my anxiety as, [at the start of my assessment] I was completely panicking, having to recall some unpleasant memories. However, it was comfortable talking to [Monica]. The assessment […] really helped me a lot and boosted my self-esteem. It helped [me] to understand that I'm not stupid as some people might have said. (International Medical Graduate)
Monica is very professional and friendly. She constantly went out of her way to ensure a sound assessment, and created a very detailed report of her findings. Her extensive report is informative and offers many recommendations and tools for me to develop my learning skills. I always felt comfortable and welcomed during my assessment, Monica went over several of the tools I could use and fully explained them, ensuring I knew all of the ins and out of them and where to find more information if need be.
I would highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for an assessment. (Post-Graduate Student, City University, London)
I was first introduced to Monica at beginning of my second year at University, when I was studying for an undergraduate degree in Special Education.
Monica was excellent from the start; she was very flexible and took into account my timetable, work and travelling into university before we settled on a day that we would meet weekly. If there was ever a time that I could not make a session, Monica would always call me and make sure I was okay and rearrange another session. She also sent me a reminder text the day before each session, specifying our location, which really helped, especially when you have a busy week with lots going on.
Our sessions were very productive; we would usually have a small chat at the beginning of the session about my modules, how they were all going and what I wanted out of the session. This for me was very beneficial, as it was often a time for me to de-stress; Monica always helped me manage my timescales and I always left a session feeling less stressed.
She really helped me organise my work, gather more understanding and made sure that I was always answering the questions. She always pushed me and, although at times I felt that I couldn’t achieve a good grade, she always reassured me that I could that and that I would. I was never made to feel silly or stupid, even when I would bring her pieces of work that were all over the place and did not make sense.
What I really liked about my sessions with Monica was that when we would go through my work, instead of just correcting me she would always explain it and make sure I understood why it was not correct, or why it would make more sense if I done it slightly different.
We often had chats about my individual modules and what the essays were about or what I had learnt which really helped develop my understanding and then helped me write my essays. She would also help me with presentations and research techniques.
I can honestly say that every session that I had with Monica was really helpful and I couldn’t have achieved a First Class Honours without her help and support throughout the two years.
She taught me so much which I will use throughout my working career and/or any further education that I may pursue in the future. (Final Year Student on a BA Honours Course in Special Education)
As my tutor, Monica went above and beyond, ensuring that every need was met […]. I was able to learn efficiently, [as a result] my grades became better and better, and my style of writing also improved significantly.
If I were to recommend a tutor, I would defiantly recommend Monica as I feel that she is properly committed to tutoring, ensuring that her students receive the best service possible. (Final year Student in Sports Science)
Monica's support and guidance have been invaluable to me. She is hard working and has a very friendly approachable manner.
Monica has helped me to implement strategies to improve my report writing and presentation skills as I am dyslexic and have previously struggled in these areas.
I would highly recommend Monica's one-to-one teaching to anyone that wants to improve themselves. (RICS Associate in Residential Property Valuation)
[Monica’s] loyalty and honesty are unquestionable. She has excellent teaching skills, support and understanding. I found her very intelligent, hardworking, reliable and resourceful. She has good interpersonal and communication skills and an easily adaptable personality. Given her good character and congenial qualities, I honestly recommend her […] as a tutor. (Final year Student in Psychology)
Dear Monica
I would like to start off by saying a massive thank you for the guidance you have given to me with my learning. You were so friendly and supportive during my final (stressful) year and you made everything so clear to me, especially the sessions about managing anxiety and stress. I really enjoyed our 1:1 sessions as I learnt so much about myself and the potential I have; you brought the best out of me! Continue to do what you are doing because you make a perfect ‘supporter’.
