What Do Our Alumni Say?
Sofia H. Alumni Online Research Programme
Testimonial quote icon

I was afraid that the tutorials would be too much like lectures – the teacher gives a monologue and I do not have any opportunity to talk. It turned out to be exactly the opposite. My tutor was always asking me questions and probing my knowledge.

I loved that I got to think out loud and I gained a lot of confidence doing so. The tutor never gave long lectures but instead focused on filling the gaps in my knowledge and took the topic even further.
