My tutor was very helpful and got back to me quickly. She offered good advice and great support. If I had any questions she had no trouble answering them efficiently, giving me the information and advice I needed. I learned a lot from the course and would definitely recommend the course to anyone wanting to gain some experience and knowledge in psychology.
