The students recognised and respected the scale of your knowledge and they also came to like you immensely and speak of you with affection. However the biggest testament to your success is the quality of work they produced as a result of your tuition and this was singled out for praise by our external examiners"

testimonial

“Nick – thanks very much for your excellent day’s workshop with my 1st year journalism students. They certainly learnt a huge amount about magazine and newspaper design which I know will prove to be very valuable for them going forward – and it was great to see them so enthused. As a professional journalist even I picked up loads of really useful information which I wish I’d have known at their age”
Jon Boyle, Journalism Lecturer, University of Bedfordshire
