I contacted you with a request to provide the QNUK Level 3 Mental Health at Work Training which you delivered to a large cohort of employees both on and off-site, in order to meet the needs to the business. The course content was incredibly valuable for attendees in terms of providing information to allow them to recognise and understanding their own mental health but also providing the tools to recognise and support mental health challenges in colleagues. Cover topics which often times carry such stigma can be difficult territory but you facilitated this training with such a personable, professional approach which immediately instilled psychological safety helping the teams when they worked together in groups with opportunities to discuss topics. The nature of our business often makes such training sessions a challenge but this was one of the smoothest sessions we have ran to date, yet with one of the biggest impacts. Your ongoing support thereafter is very much appreciated and I look forward to working with you further in 2023, and beyond.

Wishing you a year full of continued success,

"Louise Matthews was my tutor  from 2019 to 2021. I completed this through a ‘Back to Education Programme’ run locally in my area. It was a programme that suited women like me who were returning to education after a long period of time, returning to work and had families at home too.

Throughout that period, Louise was an excellent tutor who supported and guided me in obtaining full distinctions in all modules. The modules I completed with Louise were well structured, easy to follow, had excellent feedback and overall, were very enjoyable to participate in. Louise also offered support and guidance on how to turn an everyday writing assignment into an academically sound assignment. She was very engaged with our group, offered great advice, and tapped into the potential within the group of women and men.

In my case, Louise encouraged me to continue in my studies and I am now in the process of completing a level 7 BA in Early Childhood Studies. She saw a potential in me that I was not aware was there and now thanks to Louise, I am following a dream I never thought would be possible.

As a tutor Louise was extremely patient and understood the pressures of everyday life for those of us returning to education. She offered sound advice on how to achieve our goals without burning out or becoming overwhelmed. Louise offered us her time too and I knew she was always on the end of a phone or email if I needed assistance. 

I will be forever grateful to Louise for her support and encouragement over these past few years and I have no doubt that she will succeed in whatever she sets out to do. Louise is a fantastic person and I wish her all the luck in the world in her future endeavours".

Yours sincerely,

"Louise Matthews is a great tutor, supporting, motivating and encouraging in every way where I needed help. Her classes were pure positive atmosphere, laughter and repetition if I didn’t understand. Louise made me feel so welcome in her classes and I was treated with respect.

I would recommend Louise Matthews as a brilliant tutor, in my opinion and fair to every student".

"I had the pleasure of having Louise as my Tutor and I can say I found her to be incredibly helpful during this time. She went above and beyond to make sure we as  students had a grip on the course content and gave us constructive feedback on all areas of our studies. She provided us with her profound knowledge of the topic and was always on hand if we had any difficulties. Louise even convinced me to further my studies to Degree level and its Thanks to her I have had the opportunity to progress my career to new levels. Would highly recommend Louise as a course facilitator".
