“I would definitely and highly recommend her!”

“Laura is an extremely helpful and professional tutor.  She has assisted me with her Sociology essays throughout my 3rd and 4th year of University.  I am still using the essay guidelines which I’ve learnt from her for my further studies!  Laura was a major help with my dissertation and if it weren’t for her constant support and encouragement I wouldn’t have achieved my desired 2:1 classification and for that I am grateful!  I would definitely and highly recommend her!”

“…professional, flexible and dedicated”

“Laura (Dr.) is a brilliant tutor, who has helped me enormously in my studies. I am a mature student working my way through a university degree, although I was initially nervous she immediately put me at ease and has been supportive and encouraging, offering helpful comments and feedback on my assignments to develop my writing and presentation skills. My experience of being tutored by Laura has been enjoyable; she is professional, flexible and dedicated, with a genuine concern for her student, quick to reply to any queries, and understanding of student deadlines. The help and guidance Laura provided helped me to develop the ability to write essays of a higher quality and gain a distinction for the work I submitted. I wholly recommend her as a tutor”

“…my grades improved and I even gained a first class dissertation”

“I entered higher education as a mature student and it was a struggle to be able to write in an academic style.  I found out in the latter part of my degree that I had issues with my learning and writing styles following a dyslexia/dyspraxia test.  As a result, I needed support with my proof reading and this is when I made contact with Dr Laura Hemingway.  Thanks to her feedback I was able to gauge a better awareness of where my essay structure fell apart.  I gained knowledge with every piece of feedback, and used this knowledge with my other work.  Thanks to Laura’s persistence and good humour, my grades improved and I even gained a first class dissertation.  This was something I thought was beyond my ability!  I referred Laura to a friend and with support, her grades also improved.  I would definitely and highly recommend Laura as a tutor”

“The response is prompt and appointments are easy to make”

“I began working with Laura last year in my first year of university.  Throughout the year, Laura has provided proofreading and editing as well as help with references and bibliographies.  The service provided by Laura has been extremely helpful and through the course of the year I have achieved top marks.  The response is prompt and appointments are easy to make”

“…she has never let me down”

“I was over the moon with the support I received from Laura, she is punctual with her responses and spotted mistakes in my work I hadn’t noticed. I struggle with grammar and structure and she made really useful suggestions to make my essay flow better and I am certain this contributed to high mark with my UG dissertation. I am doing post graduate work and I have gone back to Laura again and she has never let me down, I have recommended her to a friend who also was impressed with the service she received and we both benefited from her support, cannot thank you enough”

“10/10 would recommend her to anyone”

“Laura was very helpful in helping me with all aspects of my dissertation. She was very supportive at this stressful time. Laura guided me in the right direction every step of the way when undertaking my this research project and I am so thankful that I was able to get her help! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone and I got a very high mark of 70 in my dissertation! Couldn’t have done this without you Laura! So thank you so so much!”

“She built my confidence and made me a better learner”

“I began to look for a tutor during my final year of university.  When I first spoke to Laura I was unsure of my capabilities and anxious about the outcome of my degree. Laura put me ease from the beginning, making sure to offer praise as well as constructive and sound criticism that has undoubtedly changed the way I work. She built my confidence and made me a better learner, which allowed me to achieve way beyond what I thought I was capable of. So much so, that I decided to do a Masters, where she also tutored me again. I have been privileged enough to have built up a rapport with Laura over the year(s) and I can confidentially say she is extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and friendly. I strongly recommend her as tutor”

“…she was always with me when I was lost, stressed and depressed”

“Laura is a lovely tutor I have worked with her since 2017. She is a smart and talented tutor. She helped me a lot during my PhD, she was always with me when I was lost, stressed and depressed. She supports and motivated me a lot. Her kind words, treatment and support encouraged me to continue pursuing my PhD, even I was facing tough times in my life. Now I graduated and become an academic, I could not achieve this without her. I highly recommended her as a tutor. Even our major is different but I learned a lot from her, the discussion we always have about my topic enhance my research and my work. So, do not hesitate to contact her”

“…she devoted a lot of time towards helping me understand certain concepts”

“Laura was an excellent tutor, very dedicated, articulate and helpful. Laura helped me develop my Sociology Research Proposal. This was very time sensitive and she devoted a lot of time towards helping me understand certain concepts and ideas. I am very grateful for her help and I would recommend her highly to anyone who needs help with Sociology”

“…gives in-depth feedback to help develop each assignment”

“Laura has been so helpful during my last year of University, providing the best help she could, ranging from essays to online exams. She always tries to find space to accommodate me and gives in-depth feedback to help develop each assignment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone interested, as experience working with her has been nothing but amazing. So supportive and caring about each piece of work I have handed her. Thank you again Laura for all your help over the past year”

“…tailored the sessions to my needs”

“I cannot recommend Laura enough as a tutor.  She exceeded every expectation I had for helping with my Social Policy dissertation. She was so personable, patient and knowledgeable.  Laura has been ever so supportive; I feel fortunate to have found a tutor who helped so much with my confidence and approach to writing.  She has such an easy manner that encouraged me to be honest about tasks I was finding difficult and then tailored the sessions to my needs”

“Laura has been there to support me and ensure I have the tools to flourish”

“Laura is such a lovely person and it has been a joy to work with her and has been invaluable for my university studies. At every stage of my educational journey Laura has been there to support me and ensure I have the tools to flourish and do my best and to instil confidence in my studies. Laura explains complex theories in an accessible way and has helped me refine my academic writing. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough”

“During the weekly sessions, my grades increased immensely”

Laura was a fantastic tutor! She helped me with my third-year university work from support with essays to help during my dissertation. No question was too stupid to ask, and she explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and tailored each session to the work I needed completing. During the weekly sessions, my grades increased immensely, I averaged at a 2:2 in my second year but this improved to a comfortable 2:1 with Laura’s tutoring. During this time my writing style improved and became more academic.

Completing my dissertation was a very stressful time, but Laura’s tutoring allowed me to create goals and manage my time more effectively. She was on hand to help me through the whole dissertation process and was available if I needed any extra lessons, especially as my dissertation deadline got closer. She read sections of my dissertation and improved the writing, while also looked for various articles (in her own time) that I could use for my literature review. Overall, Laura was a great tutor and made me more confident when submitting my essays. I fully recommend Laura for any university tutoring, especially related to Sociology or Criminology.
