Well, today’s thought is short and sweet. Take a break from your study and then right back to it, you’re nearly there. This week is the last week of ‘official’ teaching for a lot of universities. Whether you are resitting, resubmitting, retaking or handing...
Thoughts
Here are some useful articles and information I have put together for all my clients.
For Students and Beleagered Tutors!
During this time, we’ve all moved online and, to be honest, many of us are not techie guys and gals and unless we’re on computer courses wouldn’t choose to be sitting online to learn or teach, right? I’d like to address something this week that is rapidly becoming...
