Testimonials

"I emailed Laura for some guidance on word formatting. I was in write-up mode and had set out my first full draft ready to send to my supervisors. It was a mess. I had attempted (very badly) formatting the document and adding a tables and figure page. But it wasn’t great. Laura sat with me and went over word formatting abilities (wow – who knew word did all of that amazing stuff)! After the consultation I had a properly formatted thesis, with referencing, along with lots tips on how to keep the thesis updated regularly." Karen (DBA student)
