Here's what some students have said about the support they received from Debbie!!

  • S.W. CNM student

    "Debbie was the missing link to my studies. Someone who has the depth of experience and more importantly, an ability to respond to the individual. I was having huge struggles completing my essays/reports having ADHD. Debbie responded brilliantly and is now supporting me through the assignments. I now feel empowered and equipped to complete the diploma."
