TESTIMONIALS
“Rosemary is always prompt and fair, easy to understand – an excellent tutor. Excellent clarity and details of explanations and feedback. Excellent applicability of course content to industry.” Fiona Corcoran, Copy-editing and Proofreading Course
“Rosemary Hepözden is the best tutor a student can hope for. When starting the course I was expecting a replica of my Grade 1 English teacher, but I was in for a surprise. Rosemary has a wonderful sense of humour. She was patient with my many questions and corrected my English blunders without hiding a ruler behind her back. Thank you Rosemary!” Antoinette Diedericks, Grammar for Writers Course
