I had a great experience with my tutor, Josie Whitehead, she encouraged and also pushed me to learn, my success wouldn't have been complete without her. My course was relevant to my present job and has given more exposure of what is expected of me. I am grateful and one of my long term goals has been achieved. Thank you 🙏
Thankyou josie My level 3 in health and social care was hard work but the support I received from my tutor was amazing. Josie was always very clear and helped me to understand everything. Thankyou
I have enjoyed the whole learning experience with Paragon Skills. The knowledge and skills attained throughout this apprenticeship have provided me with the confidence to take on challenges and make improvements in the workplace that I might have otherwise avoided. I would sincerely like to thank my tutor, Martin Sharpe for his unwavering support, guidance and feedback, very much appreciated. His belief in me has resulted with a double distinction at my Level 5, End Point Assessment.
I have completed my NVQ level 3. My tutur was sara and she was amazing amd very helpfull all the time. She has been available for me anytime. Thank you Sara and paragon skills.
My tutor Corinne was amazing with me. She was always very clear and explained anything I wasn’t sure about. The online lesson plans and resources were always easy to follow and Corinne made my experience learning very comfortable and helped me grow in confidence!
After nearly 3 decades,I stepped back into education. My tutor Sara has been very supportive and has helped me along the way.
I have complete a level 3 NVQ course last week. Sara became my tutor and was amazing. She always there to help me and pushed me to my best. I can’t thank Sara enough for her patience and support. Thanks again sara for everything ☺️
What made my experience great was my tutor, Laura Barlow. Without her help and belief in me I would’ve give in at the first hurdle. She was always there to help and pushed me to my best. Laura would always explain in full the work I had and would expand if I didn’t understand. Thankyou Laura
Karen Taberner was amazing! I have completed a Level 3 NVQ course and after a rocky start, Karen became my tutor and was amazing. Nothing was to much trouble and she would take time to answer my questions and make sure my work was a distinction level. Thank you Karen for helping my achieve my Diploma!
My tutor has been great because she helped me through my NVQ 2 coursework which parts I’m been struggling with even if was the speaking and listening part thanks a lot.
I have really enjoyed the course and have learnt so much from it! Laura McDonald has been brilliant throughout it all, so supportive and has made things simple when I don’t think it is. I can’t thank Laura enough for her patience and support 😊
My tutor is corrine she has been amazin from the start with helping me not rushing me when getting behind, she is very understanding when it comes to thing that you struggle with and will help as much as possible and change thing ie wording to help make it more understandable.

My tutor Corrine has been so supportive throughout my apprenticeship. She has been informative, clear and patient. I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor to get me through the course. Corrine made me feel confident and at ease from start to finish :) can’t thank her enough
My tutor Corrine watts has been absolutely amazing with me during my course from start to finish, she helped me with any questions I had and was an all round great support.
My tutor Laura McDonald has been absolutely fantastic. I have appreciated all the effort, patience and dedication she has had towards me and the qualification.

Gained knowledge surrounding how to give a good care with person centred approach and respecting people's choice,the legislations and the policies and procedures to follow when giving care.This is massive knowledge gained as i further my career.
Sophie Hampshire has been my personal tutor for both my Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Early Years for the past 2.5 years. Sophie has always been supportive, kind and considerate. She has helped me when I have been unsure and has given me extra support throughout my coursework. Sophie also checks up on me to ask how I am doing in the setting and my life outside of work. I have struggled with a personal matter recently and Sophie has been understanding and supportive and told me that I could confide in her if I wanted to. My overall development in Early Years is massively because of Sophie, and I am so thankful that I had her as my tutor.
