Great Tutorial Support

I'm sending this email to let you know that Paul is very accommodating and responsive. He immediately responds if I have questions/ inquiries regarding my assessment and gives me detailed information on things I need to learn with regard to the course. I hope I'll continue to have him as my tutor coordinator.

Thank you and have a good day.
