'Carol Shepherd worked with my twin girls to support them with French and German GCSE respectively. Both achieved grades that surpassed their pre-tuition expectations. From my perspective she was professional, flexible, non-judgemental and responded quickly to communication. The whole process went very smoothly and we had an easy working relationship. She enabled one daughter to take French at A level and also inspired her to take sociology through taking time to talk to her about content and fit with her skills.' (JB, Winchester, 2021)
'Carol was a very humble and passionate lecturer. She only
cared for our success, pushing us beyond what we thought we
could reach. Before A levels, I didn’t think University was for
me but carol encouraged me otherwise. My current aspiration is
to do a sport degree at Uni.' (Lucy, A Level Sociology
2020-21)
'Carol is the best teacher I have ever
had. She is passionate, supportive and believes in her students.
She also teaches in a fun and engaging way.' (Dan, A Level
Sociology 2020-21)
'Carol was always there to
offer both praise and pushes when necessary, in order to support
us all in reaching our full potential and keep us motivated when
aiming for excellence. Despite the huge leap from GCSEs to A
level, Carol made sure we had everything necessary to tackle our
exams and stay on track for the grades we needed. I would highly
recommend carol as a tutor due to her dedication and next level
support.' (Lucy, A Level Sociology 2020-21)
'Carol
is a brilliant teacher. She always knows how to make lessons
very enjoyable. She makes sure that I understand everything, and
helps me massively. I would thoroughly recommend her as a
tutor.' (Sophia, A Level Sociology 2020-21)
'Carol
has been a great teacher, helping me with both my anxiety and my
studies. At the start of the year I didn’t think I was going to
do well but thanks to Carol's teaching and motivation, I
have improved my grades and feel confident in myself that I can
do well and pass. She has taught me to overcome my fear of
talking to new people and I have since the start of the year
made some great friends and been able to talk in front of the
class without being scared of embarrassing myself.' (Izzy,
A Level Sociology 2020-21)
'Carol injected personality and humour into the classroom!
Approachable, informative and intelligent. I enjoyed my access
course immensely and would highly recommend Carol.' (Kerry,
Access Soc Science 2019-20)
'I have been
previously taught by Carol, I found her lectures to be engaging
and insightful. As somebody who failed to obtain GCSEs, and
being out of formal education for a number of years before
meeting Carol, I would have never considered university as an
option, or felt I had the ability to even apply. With every
lecture and assignment I felt my confidence grow, the feedback I
received was always insightful and fair. I always felt I was
able to expand on my abilities when it came to essay writing,
and selective writing. I never felt afraid to ask questions, she
openly encouraged all of us to do so. She always found a way to
make the least interesting of subjects rather enjoyable. If it
wasn't for Carol, I wouldn't be doing my BSc (Honours)
in psychology now, or improving my prospects in the future.
Thank you Carol. And you best bet I will be utilising you in the
future!' (Jaz, Access Soc Science, 2018-19)
'Carol
is an amazingly thorough tutor, she is caring and appreciative
of a student’s personal circumstances. I wouldn’t be at uni
without her guidance.' (Maria, Access Nursing
Student,2019-20)
'Carol is fantastic for
Sociology. She understands it's a tricky subject to get
your head around and always asks if we are ok. I know if I
don't get it all, Carol will be on hand to help.'
(Karla, Pre-Access Sociology)
'Carol’s high
expectations, along side well planned, interesting and engaging
lectures allowed me to reach my full potential. When moving from
college to university, I soon realised I was already ahead of
most due to her thorough teaching of academic skills and
referencing as well as course content. I cannot thank Carol
enough for all the hard work she put in thats allowed me to
thrive at university.' (AJ, Access SocScience, 2019-20)
'Carol
was very down to earth and always willing to help. My academic
confidence grew with every lecture she did. Before I didn't
think university was on the table but Carol soon helped me see
that it was possible. I would highly recommend carol as a tutor
for any access student that needs that extra support.'
(David, Access Soc Science, 2019-20)
'I know how
much you care for us all and that’s why I wanted to share with
you their response after I explained how close I was to get to
their offer! I’m so happy and I wanted to share it with you too!
I want to thank you so much again for your all hard work and
never giving up as a teacher to any of us!' (Benedetta,
Access Soc Science, 2019-20)
'Carol is
fantastic. She works at a great pace for us all to understand
and take notes. The work is really interesting which makes it
easier to learn.' (Karla, Pre-Access Health & Social
Care)
'I feel I'm a little slow as
I've been out of school so long, but my teacher makes me
feel positive being here, and I don't feel as stupid.'
(Kirsty, Pre-Access Health & Social Care)
'Thank you so much for putting on such a unique and interesting course; the content was pitched at just the right level. I always looked forward to coming to the classes and didn't want to miss a week! I don't think Monday nights have ever been so fascinating. (Adult Education Criminology Student)
'Dr Shepherd is a brilliant and very experienced tutor. She
has helped me a great deal over the last few weeks with my
doctoral work and has given helpful insights/feedback. Moreover,
she gave me lots of support in order to feel more confident
about my ability to pass this tough course. I can fully
recommend her to help students with sociology, education or
affiliated areas.' (Martin, Doctor of Education Student)
'
I only got this far because of you.... I'm only telling the
truth, I wouldn't be where I am if you hadn't been there.'
(MK, Criminology, 2024)
' I needed support with proof reading for my PhD thesis.
Carol was helpful and supportive with her proofing. Her work was
superb and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help
or support with academic writing.' (RB, PhD candidate,
UK)
'I can highly recommend your excellent
work!' (KS, Priest & Academic, Germany)
'Carol
was really helpful and supportive to work with. She gave a lot
of opportunities to help with my work and was flexible with her
timing. All pieces given to her for proofreading were returned
quickly and had a lot of useful suggestions built in that worked
for me.' (Student, 2024)
' An English lesson packed with individually tailored
information, and fun and knowledgeable Teacher Carol... if you
