Testimonials for Cosmic People

I enjoyed studying with Giovanna as she is knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable throughout all our sessions. I achieved a grade above my expectations and I am very proud of myself. Again I want to thank Giovanna for all her invaluable advice and guidance. Giovanna is a credit to your organisation.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Cosmic People for everything this year. Nataliehas supplied Jake with a fantastic level of support that has allowed him to complete his HNC successfully and I believe stretch his grade to allow him to demonstrate his true potential. She has been a pleasure to work with and provided clear and effective support in an unobtrusive manner. She has always been easily contactable and responsive to the programme of study and Jakes additional needs.

I have just got my results and am over the moon with them! I really cannot believe it!! I wanted to share them with you as a priority!

Thank you so much for the immense support and encouragement you have both given me, giving me faith in myself when I had none. I would not have been able to do it without you both alongside me, you are absolute stars!!

I feel very lucky and fortunate to be working with you both, you have provided me with excellent guidance and emotional support. And to think I so almost didn’t complete the year…

I can’t thank you both enough!! :))))

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tutor, she has helped me develop so many new skills and techniques that I will use for the rest of my life! I wouldn’t have graduated with a first without the skills she taught me and I’m so grateful she was my tutor.

I hope you don’t mind me emailing, but I got my results back yesterday for my degree, and I am absolutely over the moon to receive a First overall.

I wanted to take a moment to mention how appreciative I have been of my study support mentor Marlene. I truly don’t believe I would have received the high marks I have done for my assignments without her help, especially my dissertation. Considering that Marlene was tasked with mentoring me in a difficult subject she had no prior knowledge about.

My mentoring with her is now finished I believe, but she mentioned I could email you with any feedback I had about my mentoring from her. I think she has been fantastic and has kept me on track with my entire Third Year, so I wanted to make it clear how much I have appreciated her help and support.

I would like to thank you for allocating me with a specialist tutor GP for my one-to-one study skills support. I was uncertain when you offered me virtual sessions in January 2020, however that has been an advantage for me as when we went into lockdown, I carried on accessing the support virtually. She is an excellent specialist tutor, who has provided me with high level of support which has prepared, educated, and developed me into a confident student. She understood my learning needs, strength and weaknesses and she ensured the support offered would allow me to achieve my goals and outcomes. As a result of the exceptional support received, I was able to write very good assignments and obtained very good grades, hence I am going to graduate with the best degree classification.

I am extremely grateful for the one-to-one study skills support received from her. I wish all the specialist tutors were like her, then all the students with learning needs would receive the best one-to-one study skills support.

I am coming to the end of my 4 year support from Cosmic and I just wanted to pass on my deep thanks and appreciation to Cosmic and particularly Giovanna, for all the support I’ve received. I genuinely don’t think I could have made it through university without this support.

The mentoring I have received from Giovanna has been so integral to not only my mental health, but the successes I’ve had at university. She has been an amazing mentor who has supported me with achieving goals I don’t think I could have dreamed about meeting 4 years ago. I have gone from a student who struggled to leave my bedroom to a soon to be graduate who is achieving 70- 80% in my coursework and now I will be going on to start a Graduate scheme in a Bank in September.

I genuinely couldn’t have done it without this support, so thank you for what you and your team do.

I got my degree results yesterday and guess what! I got a 2:1!! I did it! I couldn’t believe it when I first got the results. I had to reread it a couple of times to make sure that I wasn’t imagining things!

I just want to thank you for being so patient and supportive with me throughout the two years that we worked together. I know that I definitely would not have gotten this result without your support. Words can’t really express how much

I appreciate all of the support that you have given.

I’m graduating with a 2.1. My dissertation grade was a bit disappointing, 58%, but I got 75% for my presentation. I guess a 2-1 is good enough overall! Thanks for all the help getting me there.

Regarding the three students, they all achieved between 83 and 98 % on TMA 02. All three are on a trajectory to pass TM111 20D and all are continuing with their studies on 20J modules.

S.H. June 2020 (message to Tutor)

As you know it was a real struggle to find someone that Ben felt comfortable with and vitally who was able to understand what Ben needed. Then Ben got Anna who absolutely understood Ben and what he needed and from the very first session he was happy. Other Support teachers follow the tried and tested route which they, I assume, have been taught and failed to listen and understand what the individual student actually needs and wants from the support. Anna does not do this and that is the difference. There is nothing more Ben or I could have asked for from Anna. She unfailingly supported Ben and in addition saw him at a time and on a day that worked for him which was a massive help.

In addition to her support of Ben she also happily took the time to liaise with me should I need it, which I am sure is over and above her role. I asked Ben what he wanted me to say to you about Anna and he said “She’s brilliant”.

I would not hesitate to recommend Anna to anyone who needed support – she is great.

Ben got a First – need I say more!!!

I would like to thank you and say that Karen is brilliant. She has helped me so much so far and I am learning new strategies because of her. I also wish to keep Karen Webb until I finish my course.

I found Cheryl’s help and support vital to my learning this year as a first year. I am looking forward to doing this all again with Cheryl in my second year. I believe I have passed my first year mostly due to Cheryl’s support when I have needed it.

Thank you very much to you and Cheryl for your support and guidance during my first year.

This email is just to show my appreciation for the support I received from Anna this academic year. Anna was an absolute godsend, Annas work ethic was fantastic and she was a contrast motivation for me. I find academic writing very difficult, yet Anna was patient and supportive in her approach to helping me learn. I am under no illusion that working with Anna helped give me the confidence to push myself harder an achieve the best I could this year.

Thank you so much for all your hard, very precise and clear work. This module has only been possible with your continuing support. I can certainly recommend your output to future students.

It’s actually quite sad as I looked forward to receiving your emails. I’m also impressed with such detail so quickly. Again, thank you so much.

rom the start I found our sessions professional, structured, and educational. Every session had a clear defined plan of what we wanted to achieve as well as identifying goals for the next session. I feel we have built rapport, getting to know how each other works and collaboratively plan how to conduct our sessions. I have found our sessions productive, informative, and beneficial allowing me to develop my academic writing skills and moving towards a much more critical writing voice. This has led to significant improvements in my overall grades.

Since working with Giovanna my grades have improved approximately 10% whilst moving from level 5 to level 6. I am very happy to be working with Giovanna next academic year and I am looking forward to our sessions once they continue after summer break.
