Thiloshini Singh (Modules studied: FAC1502, IOP2601, FIN2603)

I've attended lectures for three Unisa subjects with Paul from Synercademy, namely IOP2601, FAC1502 & FIN2603, ALL of which I have received distinctions! I give 100% credit to well-designed coursework and a supportive learning environment. Paul is very experienced and is committed in helping his students excel. He is attentive, passionate and extremely knowledgeable in what he does. I am very happy to continue attending all relevant UNISA courses via Synercademy and would definitely recommend their services to potential students. With Unisa being Open Distance Learning, it is difficult to receive study material, go to work and come home and read through tutorial letters and textbooks and try your hardest to understand it, however Synercademy breaks down the courses so that whichever way a question may be asked, it's not about being able to by-heart your answers, it's about genuinely being able to understand and use your learnings in your everyday environment. There are few organisations that actually make life simpler for people, you are one of them! Thank you Synercademy!!!

I have been lucky enough to work with Paul since the second semester of 2016. He has helped me with 4 modules, all of which I passed and 3 of which were distinctions. Paul is always willing to help his students when they are battling with understanding concepts and will try to make time to help wherever he can. His knowledge of the subjects he teaches is thorough and his explanation of concepts is precise. Anybody looking for help with UNISA modules would be privileged to work with Paul. Time spent working with him is well worth the fees and I recommend him to anybody seeking help or struggling to understand the work!

Anthony Barnes (Modules studied: DSC1520, DSC2604, STA1501 & STA1502)

If a pass is what you are looking for, look no further. Make no mistake, you will have to work hard and put in effort, but Paul will guide you towards success. I can recommend him for beginners as well as professionals. He always makes a plan to fit in an extra class before exam if need be and no task is too big. Thanks to him I passed FAC1502 and FAC1601 with distinctions and I managed to pass STA1510. Best of luck with your studies and I hope you have many happy hours with Paul.
