What Our Students Say

Jeanna ThomsonAdvanced Freelance Journalism Course

The course was, at times, challenging – which was great as I had a lot to learn. I was able to get more real-life experience and that’s invaluable. Sarah was a thoroughly professional tutor. She went the extra mile to help and I felt lucky to have her as a tutor. She was very patient and her straight-up and consistent style of teaching was excellent. I was challenged and encouraged to be brave with my writing. The Writers College is both professional and friendly, and the courses I have done through them are relevant to magazine journalism today.

Loved every moment! It was wonderful to get so much personal attention. At any large learning institution you are nothing but a number, so being treated like I was the only student - like I actually mattered - was a very nice change!
