I honestly don’t know how to thank you for all you have done for T. I hope he has let you know that he has now found a job in insurance underwriting. Without any doubt at all it is entirely due to your advice and direction. I am so grateful to have found your company and I will be sending my three girls your way when the time comes!

Our daughter’s final personal statement earned this comment from her Biology teacher: “Well, if Bristol don’t want you, I can’t imagine what they are looking for.” She got three offers within a week, including two from Bristol - her first choice. Honestly, we would have been lost without Tinker Tailor.

Your help and advice on submitting the UCAS application early was invaluable, and Jamie is now sitting on four very realistic offers from four great unis. His confidence is also in a much better place thanks to all your wise advice!
