Hi Caroline! Thankfully, things are much brighter now! I also wanted to say properly how grateful I am to you. You helped me through my undergraduate and my PGCE, and I genuinely don’t think I could have navigated those years in quite the same way without your unwavering support. You were such an important person during such a significant chapter of my life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Nerys and Lucy for being my mentors from February until September this year. Your support, patience, feedback, advice and warm personalities have helped push me over the finish line and complete my MA. You've made me feel as though I am enough, and made sure I was completely comfortable in all of our sessions. The strategies, conversations and things we discussed will stay with me for the rest of my life, and I am so glad that we met. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for everything. I hope that gives you some idea of just how grateful I am to you both. You have made such a difference to me over the past few months, and I honestly feel incredibly lucky that our paths crossed. The world needs more Nerys's and Lucy's in it!

Marlene has been brilliant. We've got into a rhythm with sessions and how to use them to my best advantage. The communication between us is clear and open regarding how best to use the study skills: how to help / what works & doesn't work, what I can improve on and get more help with etc. Marlene is very approachable, funny and an all round lovely person who I respect and appreciate hugely. Not only does she listen, but she responds and adapts to my needs, and supports me - even on bad days - in such a way I always leave our sessions in a better place than I was at the start. I have come value my time with Marlene even more than when I first started, and can see the impact she's having through my returned essay results.

Amy has been a great mentor and study skills tutor. She has helped me improve on my planning strategies, proofreading and writing skills. I would be lost without her. She has been a great pair of ears and has motivated me very well at times when things were getting too much to deal with. She has always encouraged me to think for myself and understand how I can apply study skills to study smart along with studying hard. I am very grateful for this support because without this support I am very confident that I would have not gotten this far.

The support I received from Andrea was exceptional. Every session was well-tailored to my needs of that particular week which, in turn, greatly helped my mental well-being.

Caroline has been an amazing support for me, in all aspects! I’m hoping to be supported again by Caroline to complete my masters. Thank you so much. You made it possible for me to complete my degree. I really appreciate everything you have supported and done for me! Thank you!

Philippa was incredibly supportive, encouraging and I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. She was always happy to listen to concerns and really helped me confidently navigate any issues I was having with university life/work and I felt comfortable approaching her for guidance and support in our sessions.

Excellent support, above and beyond what I expected. The support was exactly what I needed to enable me to finish my masters. I needed mentoring and study skills support which was delivered to suit my needs. Lucy, thank you so much for helping and supporting me through this difficult and emotional and time.

I cannot recommend my Beacon Study Skills Tutor highly enough, and if I choose to progress to a Masters, I will be sure to request Beacon for my support needs again

The support has been excellent, Ian is flexible and has been very effective in helping me to manage my studies around my ADHD needs.

I couldn't have made it through uni without the support I have received from Beacon. Beth always go above and beyond, she really cares about the students she supports, it makes a huge difference!

Lucy has been fantastic and given me so much support. I always look forward to meeting with Lucy, she puts me at ease and I come away from our meetings feeling a lot less anxious and much more relaxed about coursework. She always replies to my emails and has also supported me in meetings with my tutor, I actually don’t think I could have got through the year without her, I am extremely thankful to her.
