Those of you who are regulars to our Forums will know that we always want to provide you with the best service we can, so we are really pleased and proud to announce our new initiative to "Advancing the quality of OBU”
We receive many, many requests to recommend great mentors but this puts us in a difficult position as while Trephena, our Forum Moderator is willing to answer questions on the Forums, she cannot take on personal students for mentoring. So we wanted to remedy this situation – the problem though was how to find mentors that truly are world class so that we could really advance the quality of your OBU experience while offering very high quality mentoring that we can endorse with total confidence.
So going forward we will provide details of first class mentors but only mentors whom we think are good at what they do and have a proven track record to match would be on this list in the future.

Thanks for the response. I will contact you through your website.

Gillian Moore was my mentor for the P39 submission. She is a brilliant, professional and knowledgeable mentor. Her mentorship is first class, providing constructive feedback that inspired and gave me confidence to carry out my research. I've learnt alot of valuable lessons throughout my mentorship and will forever be grateful for this experience.
I highly and passionately recommend Gillian Moore as a mentor. I achieved an A grade for my project, first submission. Thank you Gillian, it was a great pleasure to be your mentee.
I passed my RAP in Period 39 and would highly recommend The Learning Luminarium! I was assigned to Irwin but I’m sure the other mentors are equally as good. As long as you are willing to put in the work, and with the support and guidance of their mentors, you will definitely pass your RAP.
I'm extremely grateful to Irwin for his patience and guidance throughout the whole project. He's always quick in responding to any questions that I had and providing feedback that allowed me to improve the quality of my report.
Thanks Irwin, it was great working with you!

Gillian Moore was my mentor for P39 and I am glad to announce that I have passed and been awarded an Upper Second Class degree.
If you are reading this, I can assure you that her experience and knowledge is impeccable and she understands the needs of her mentee really well.
Gillian, I will be forever grateful to you and thank you again for your mentorship.
Best Regards,

Gillian Moorse was my mentor for P39. It was my last chance, one chance only submission as I was at the end of the ten year limit.
I can recommend Gillian as a mentor. Gillian’s guidance and advice gave me confidence with my research and helped me structure my report giving tailored advice throughout the process.
I received an A grade for my report and now have a degree with first class honours. I’m so happy with my result.
Gillian Moorse is a great mentor. She was my mentor for the Period 39 and I passed! As I failed my first submission few years ago, I was very afraid to try again. Gillian managed to build up my confidence and provided very helpful and smart guidance, which made the whole process of the project preparation understandable and easy.
I’m very grateful to Gillian and highly recommend her as a mentor!
Hello there from St.Lucia.I passed the OBU RAP on my first attempt and thus, I would like to give a special thanks to my mentor Irwin from The Learning Luminarium. For three months, Irwin meticulously guided me through the whole RAP process . He was very professional and extremely patient and he challenged me to see things from various angles and think deeper on the subject. During our meetings, I was able to discuss various parts of the project that I was struggling with and Irwin was always ready to share his point of view that helped me to see things in a different light. This greatly improved my overall understanding of the RAP and directed me during my research. Furthermore, despite the 12 hour time difference, Irwin gladly accommodated my meeting times which were unusual due to my working hours.Outside of our scheduled meetings, he gladly made himself available to comment on any ideas and queries that I had. I am extremely grateful for his guidance and I encourage anyone who needs a mentor for the OBU RAP to join The Learning Luminarium. Thanks Irwin.
Oh wow~! Let me show my best salute and gratitude to The Learning Luminarium. And this is the must to drop my recommendation here to everyone :) I just experienced the best guidance from mentor Irwin there, and it is unbelievable I've just completed my project and submitted it today. Indescribable feelings! Btw I'm fully satisfied and proud of my finished work, which I never believe I was able to! All because of you, thx mentor :D
I just passed period 40 on my first attempt. I would like to express my utmost gratitude to my mentor, Irwin, from The Learning Luminarium (TLL).
Irwin is very experienced and knowledgeable. With his clear guidance, I gained a better picture of the project. Besides, he is very responsive. He answered questions and gave feedback very promptly. Thanks to Irwin, I managed to complete my RAP within 2 months’ time while working my full-time job. Without his helps, I doubt that I could pull through this.
With TLL, I assure you that you will be in good hands. I would highly recommend TLL to anyone, who is looking for an excellent mentor for their obu projects.
I have successfully completed my BSc in the period 40 on my first attempt with B grade and 1st class degree. I would like to express my utmost gratitude to my mentor, Mr. Adrian Tan, from The Learning Luminarium (TLL).
Through Mr Adrian's guidance and critical feedback and evaluation of each little element in the RAP, I managed to complete my RAP within 2 months’ time while working full-time job and studying for an ACCA paper. His analysis of the RAP helped me understand and develop a critical and broader view of how to tackle such Research and Analysis report.
I was also the first recipient of the Scholarship that is offered by the TLL and I would highly recommend all the students to go check it out and try to avail it.
Good luck to the future class of OBU BSc.
Earlier today, I received my OBU BSc results for P40 and had managed to attain first class honours on first attempt. I would like to share my experience with The Learning Luminarium.
Initially I was feeling lost and looking for recommendation in this forum. I saw multiple good reviews about Learning Luminarium and decided to inquire about the details of the programme. I first spoke with Adrian Tan, he was extremely responsive and very helpful in answering my questions.
Subsequently, I signed up for their programme and Irwin is my mentor. I would describe Irwin as someone who is highly knowledgeable and exceptionally passionate in teaching/mentoring who wholeheartedly share his expertise to provide the best guidance for students attempting their RAP. Throughout this period, Irwin felt more like a friend than a mentor, it could be due to the support and advice that he had provided which lead to my success in my RAP.
To my fellow ACCA mates, if you are thinking of taking up OBU RAP, do consider The Learning Luminarium and I assure you that you will not regret it. :)
Cheers!!!!!!
Absolutely recommend Gillian Moorse!
I failed P39 and decided to take on P40 with only one month of time left. I am not in the same time zone as UK, so slightly apprehensive about overseas tutor. Decided to try it after seeing good comments on her mentoring. True enough, she is very on time on the reviews and critical about the shortcomings and helpful to know where to help. Its is a tight month to revise the RAP report, but I did it with her constant help!
Thank you Gillian Moorse!
Gillian Moorse was my mentor too and I cannot recommend her enough! Her dedication, knowledge, guidance and experince is outstanding. Her feedback was timely and invaluable. Thank you so much Gillian for helping me gain my degree.
Gillian Moorse was my mentor and with her dedication and expertise, it was crystal clear to me that I will get an 'A' grade on my first attempt. The results just confirmed my gut feeling. Through her excellent mentoring service, I am proud to have scored an 'A' in my Research Project and obtained a First Class Honours degree. She is very flexible in adjusting plans to changing circumstances, extremely professional, and very detailed in her reviews. She gives you the opportunity to learn and actually grow in your research writing skills. I don't see a reason she can mentor you without getting an excellent grade.
Thanks a lot dear Gillian!
To colleagues thinking about writing your Research Project, consider working with her and I promise you will never regret it just as I did not.
I passed OBU BSc with Upper Second Class in Period 40. It was my first resubmission. My mentor was Irwin Loh, from The Learning Luminarium. One of my friends had been his mentee in a previous session and had highly spoken of him. From the very first communication with Irwin through email, I knew I opted for the right mentor.
Throughout my submission, he has been really helpful and proactive in providing invaluable feedback. Although we were geographically distant, he has been flexible enough to put up with my queries till end. He is a knowledgeable, experienced and extremely enthusiastic mentor. On our first meeting, we started off with my failed sheet. The way he highlighted the point of my failure, had immediately made me realise what I was missing out. My whole overview towards the RAP has changed.
Completing my RAP under Irwin's guidance has been a life changing experience. He has been really persuasive till the end. Though my RAP was capped at C, due to re-submission clause, I'm extremely satisfied with the quality of how I finished it.
Kudos to Irwin and the TLL team. Highly recommending them to my fellow professionals in their RAP. Good Luck!
I would like to recommend Gillian Moorse as an exceptional mentor for OBU RAP.
With her help I was able to pass on first attempt, furthermore OBU has informed me that I have been awarded the Simon Williams Prize for the best research and analysis project for Period 40
Gillian's help has been extremely valuable, starting with practical guidance on how to start and structure the RAP, as well as guiding me in relevant directions and answering any questions I had along the way.
There is no way that I could achieve this result without her guidance, as I had never done such a project before.
Thank you Gillian and thank you Open Tuition for all the resources you made available
Achieved an A grade with Gillian Moorse, very unexpected, but also given me the confidence to kick on.
5y ago#138Passed with the third attempt! Many thanks to my new mentor Mr Adrian Tan ([email protected]) for his incredible job!!
I had lots of pressure during my last attempt, however, provided Adrian’s continuous support, proper guidance and professionalism, I managed to pass the exam!

Passed first time with a B grade! Very happy with the result considering it had been over 10 years since university first time around.
A huge thank you to Gillian Moorse (Absolute Mentoring). Very professional and friendly, couldn't have done it without her help with what was a daunting task in a challenging year.
I would highly recommend Gillian for anyone starting out on their OBU RAP journey.
I also passed on my first attempt with Ms Gillian Moorse as my mentor. A big Thank You to her.
I highly recommend her as she not only possesses experience as a former OBU marker but also the personal qualities required to guide her students to success. Thanks again to Absolute Mentoring.
I'm a little late to the party but just wanted to say a big thank you to Irwin (Learning Luminarium) for his guidance towards my first-time pass in P40! His years of experience really helped me understand the context and programme requirements so I could start off strong, and his excellent feedback and patient reassurance empowered me to keep improving, keep looking at my work critically, and keep going to the finish line. Friendly, approachable and reliable, I couldn't have asked for a better mentorship experience!
Dear Opentuition Team,
Thank you for this forum and your recommendation The Learning Luminarium (TLL) as OBU Mentors.
My mentor was Irwin from TLL and I passed my RAP (Period 41, topic 17) at the first attempt. With his great mentorship I could achieve such success by spending only two months on RAP as well as was a full-time employee. Regardless my internal motivation and hardworking, the right choice of Mentor was an essential part of RAP’s quality.
I am so lucky to have Irwin as my mentor and appreciated of his integrity, objectivity and professional competence. His professional approach and guidance helped me to overcome my weaknesses and unfold my potential. Despite the time zone differences, his responses/feedback was prompt (less than 24 hours) and very constructive.
To those who are at the start point of RAP journey, I would highly recommend TLL as a high quality of OBU Mentors. Best of luck and regards.

Gillian Moorse (https://absolutementoring.uk/about/) mentored me last year and I passed my RAP the first time. She was patient and compassionate as well as very experienced and knowledgeable. She went beyond and above to support me in any aspect. She provided me with plenty of materials which helped me in my research and writing. She always responded to my questions promptly. She encouraged me to reach my full potential. I didn't only pass my RAP, but also learnt the skill of writing quality academic reports and critical thinking which are hugely beneficial to my future study and career. I can't thank Gillian enough for her support and guidance. I'd highly recommend her as a mentor!
My mentor was Irwin from TLL. I could pass my RAP with his great mentorship. He knew how to encourage his mentee. And he was very helpful and answered all the questions within an hour. I highly recommend him to those who are looking for a mentor.
Hi,
I am interested to have her as a mentor as well. could you tell me about her fee? thank in advance.
I think you will find that both the Learning Luminarium and Gillian publish their fees on their websites if you consult the relevant pages.
I passed my RAP P42 on the first attempt thanks to Mr Irwin from TLL. He’s very patient and helpful in guiding me throughout the period. He’s also very professional and prompt.
So pleased to inform of my pass result on first-attempt, with Adrian Tan from TLL as my mentor for P42 OBU submission.
I came across several challenges whilst undertaking my research on a large conglomerate organization. Adrian was very helpful and more importantly, timely in pointing out my weak areas that enabled me write a valuable report within the deadline, given I had about two months prior submission. Adrian is patient and an attentive listener, both of which are important especially to those who have no prior experience writing a research report.
What I liked most is the provision of second internal review, enabling a fresh pair of eyes to oversee the project. Irwin and Adrian both were really prompt and specific in their feedbacks.
I finished the report in the appropriate time-frame and managed to secure an upper second class honours for my degree. Overall, an excellent 5 on 5 rating for Adrian and TLL.
ThankYou TLL!! Wishing the team all the very best!
Passed my OBU RAP for Period 42 (Topic 8) with an 'A' grade on the first attempt!
Thanks OpenTuition for making the list of recommended OBU mentor and thanks a lot for my mentor, Irwin from The Learning Luminarium (TLL), for guiding me through the RAP journey.
I would recommend TLL as they are very experience in reading RR and SLS therefore can make very good recommendation on how to step up your writings to earn a better grade. Believe this can only be achieved by them by having been mentoring OBU students for more than a decade already.
And of course they are very responsive whenever you need their guidance in either email or Whatsapp which is very important!
I put the link to their webpage here in case future student interested to know details of their mentorship service: https://learningluminarium.com/
Thanks a lot Irwin and TLL ! :)
