Wow I only started studying a week ago I passed my test today my tutor was very good 👍
Wow! What can I say? My tutor was amazing through my whole learning journey, I had a baby and my tutor was so patient when it come to me returning to work also lots of personal struggles to overcome my tutor supported me and was always there to help and offer her support. I didn’t have much belief in my self at times but my tutor helped my confidence grow and with her I couldn’t have got the grades I did . I would highly recommend doing courses you 100% get the support and guidance when you need it and even when you don’t realise you need. Thank you for making my experience a positive one!
I really enjoyed my time completing my level 2 in customer service with paragon, I liked the system layout through bud being assigned specific pieces of work to focus on instead of having an endless list to work through. My tutor Debbie A has been amazing through out it all, she helped me transition from another provider mid apprenticeship and made the process easy to adjust to. Debbie took the time to understand how I worked best and applied that to my assignments, when pieces of work were confusing for me she didn't rush her explanation and made sure I understood what was to be expected of me. If you have the chance to get tutored by Debbie, I would 110% recommend it because you won't be disappointed!
Fantastic support from my Tutor Nicky Creswick. From day one she built my confidence and answered any questions I had. She gave me vital I.T support as this was something I struggled with. Nicky was patient and understanding when I didn't feel ready for my EPA. She pushed me to reach my potential and I gained a Distinction for my level 2 plus in Hairdressing. I can't thank her enough.
When I started my studying my tutor was Sara Atkins and she was ao amazing, maybe it could of been that she was from liverpool and i was too. Few weeks into my studying my son passed away and i had to take a break. It was a dramatic time and I felt like I would not be able to go on. Sara was so patient with me and tokd me to take my time and if i wanted to stop that she would understand, helped me to carry on. I was going to give up but I know my son would want me to not give up so I carried on at a slow pace with all the support from Sara. Shortly after i gave up again and when i finally tried again, I then had another tutor who's name was Kirsty Welding, at first I really wanted Sara but I also felt comfortable with Kirsty. Kirsty was amazing also and again another Liverpool tutor, she also helped me by listening and helping me stay focused when again I felt like giving up. She told me would my son who passed away want me to give up. I told her no as he used to tell me how proud he was off me. So I carried on with all the support I could possible get from a tutor. Am so grateful for both of them at a time of need. Paragon are amazing i also got became the best care learner of the year 2023. And its so funny as today I got my certificate as I passed and got Level 3. I just want to thank everyone for supporting me. And I would recommend Paragon Skills 100% your are amazing and your tutors are beautiful.
I have had a lovely experience doing my level 3. I could get in touch with my tutor on WhatsApp and email. There was a lot of help when I needed it. I would get updates of how I could add more information in the task that were given. I did enjoy the experience and did learn a lot from it.
One of the most important factors towards my experience was the support I received from my tutor, Catherine Fee. She was a great tutor who provided me with a lot of aid when it came to understanding concepts in care e.g. modern slavery. Without a doubt she gave me the skillet to expand my knowledge and motivated me to complete my Level 3 Diploma in Care, I could not have come this far without her support in tutoring me.
Alex Czerniak-Ganga as my tutor made my apprenticeship as seamless and clear as possible. She was extremely kind, patient, and cooperative throughout my Level 3 Business Admin course. Along with Sophie Weir and others, Paragon overall was very informative and helpful!
I was a transfer student. My trainer was Zoe Swinburn and she was amazing. She gave me support and guidance when I needed it. Couldn’t thank Zoe enough!
Did Business Administration Apprenticeship and Paragon helped me passed with Distinction! I appreciate Nicky Creswick for all the support, motivation and help! Highly recommend it!
I couldn’t have done my NVQ without Jules. I would like to thank Jules for all her support and trust in me I could do it, from being so behind and wanting to quit Jules gave me the motivation to finish the course and I came out with a distinction. Thank you Jules for everything
Laura Barlow help and support was second to none , nothing was to much trouble for her , i could call or message Laura and i always got a speedy quick response . Laura talked and explained everything i had to do in simple language. If i ever needed to do anymore NVQ courses i would always request Laura Barlow , her knowledge and patience was exactly what i needed. Thank you so much Laura Barlow. Yvonne Robson
Heather Horrocks was my assigned tutor for my Level 3 Business Administrator apprenticeship. Through my apprenticeship Heather has provided an amazing amount of support, even out of her work hours. Heather helped me remain calm and confident that I was going to achieve my apprenticeship despite myself getting overwhelmed. Heather is an amazing tutor. She is always willing to help no matter what the issue is.
My tutor Alex Czerniak-Ganga was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in my Business Admin apprenticeship. Alex was able to equip me with the knowledge and skills to aim for a Distinction throughout my course and what I needed to include and understand to obtain this. With regular supervision and feedback through out my course I did in fact obtain a Distinction in every element of my End Point Assessment. Paragaon were able to offer additional Math & English tutor sessions for those who need it which I found very useful. Overall great experience!
I was doing a course which was over 12 months long. Thought out my experience with paragon skills, I had always been supported whenever I required help or guidance. I was assigned a personal tutor, who was available when I was unsure of my tasks. She was able to explain and help me though the task in question.
My tutor Sharon Gladman was incredibly helpful, made me feel at ease when stressed and helped me to learn to my best potential. She also made me feel very welcome from day one of my apprentaship with her, couldn’t be more grateful to have such a kind and caring tutor.
I have completed a NVQ level 3 with Paragon and my tutor was amazing. She supported throughout the whole process, if I had any questions she would either email me to help or give me a call. I had regular reviews to discuss my progress and whether I needed any support with any of the modules. Amazing company :)
The staff are very helpful and ensure you get the best grades .
Thank you for all the support Sharon. If she didnt know the answer (which was rarely) she would do her vest to find out as soon as possible. No time was to late or to early, always helping and supportive. When you dont believe in yourself SHARON does :)
