Instructor Details

Sarah Simpson

Hi and welcome,

So, you may be asking yourself "why should I choose a course designed and delivered by Sarah?" and its obviously a very good question. After all, we all work hard to earn money and you need to be confident that my courses will give you the very best Return on Investment (both in terms of financial commitment and time).

I have taken my 22 years experience from; the public, private and tertiary sectors, university lecturing, working for the police, fire and councils, being a Fellow of The Institute of Leadership & Management and writing several high download ebooks and converted this into high quality, information rich courses.

This creates a ecourse which is comprehensive, easy to 'break down' and jargon free which ensures you get the best experience possible.

I am also available to answer any questions you may have - remember the only silly question is the one you don't ask!

So, I really hope you enjoy my deliveries as much as I have enjoyed designing and writing them :-)

Best wishes Sarah

This course was very good, only wish it more in depth in study skills. But good stuff

By Gary Ziegler on 3/8/2023

At age 68 and being a lifelong learner & auto didact, it was interesting and quite beneficial to find techniques here that I've NEVER used or experienced, especially the software applications for various topics. Can't wait to APPLY these incredibly valuable tools to my future studies!!

It was a very well organized and thought out course much better than some of the others I have seen

By Nobin Pradhan on 8/20/2021

Sarah Simpson is a great tutor. She has offered somebody like me a wide array of tools to study better and eventually perform better. Wish I had this opportunity to learn from Sarah during my School, university and Chartered Accountancy days. The explanation was very, very clear and the concepts were most helpful.

I was expecting more practical strategies, unfortunately, it was more theoretical which is a shame.

By Larry E Nelson on 12/30/2018
