“Saying Nick was the best tutor I have had across my 9 years at uni with UTS and WSU would not do him justice. Many times, he went beyond what other tutors have shown to really try and get the best for, and out of, his students. He spent a lot of time with myself and the group I was with to assure us that we were capable of learning and gave us everything we needed to achieve good marks. […] I feel that I cannot give enough praise and thanks to Nick for what he has done for our class this semester.”
