Martin Clayden, Student Success Coach, quoted 2022When I describe the role of a success coach to a student, I often liken it to a running partner in a marathon - we'll run alongside you from the beginning of your journey until the finish line. If you need to pause or slow down along the way, then we'll do the same as you.

Tigidankay Fadik, Law & Practice BA (Hons), quoted November 2022After contacting my success coach, Nathan, regarding my situation and explaining my circumstances to him, he has been nothing but sympathetic and understanding.
