The personal tutor could not give a s*** about you! My PT would prefer to ignore all important emails from myself than do his research that no one in the world is never going to see.

Professors and tutors are always interested in helping students and making sure they have a thorough understanding of the material and can keep up with the course. The aching material is very interesting and in many cases industry oriented such that students get a taste of what is like to work in a professional environment. read more
