I personally believe that I was set up perfectly to start tutoring and that because of how helpful the staff are, any obscure questions that you might not have seen in the training sessions can be answered for you. I loved delivering mock sessions on my first training session. It helped me get over my initial nerves and just enjoy tutoring."Poppy Orrell, Greater Manchester Tutoring Plus Tutor
