Advancing the quality of the OBU – OpenTuition Recommended OBU Mentors

@kotesh – Thank you for the kind testimonial! I remember the nights that you burned through just to get the report up to the desired quality. I also enjoyed the cut and thrust as we debated certain points 🙂
It was my privilege to have been your mentor. Congrats on the A.

@Jennyj – For a young, full time student, I am immensely proud of the academic maturity that you had. And how you did not give up despite the challenges you faced in addressing the inexperience you had.
You fully deserved the A grade. Do have a great celebration!

Irwin
The Learning Luminarium

Just passed my OBU on my second attempt and all thanks to my mentor – Irwin Loh from Learning Luminarium who is extremely familiar with the requirements and expectations from the examiner. I was with a different tuition provider the last time and the mentor was rusty and did not have sufficient knowledge and skills.

Irwin was attentive and responsive to all my questions via email, texts and skype call. Having a mentor who is almost 24/7 available to answering your questions and providing guidance is exactly what you need doing your thesis when all sorts of questions/doubts/uncertainties would arise along the way.

I highly recommend anyone who really want to pass their OBU to consider Learning Luminarium, especially Irwin Loh as their mentor.

How do you find a mentor on open tuition?

I would definitely recommend Irwin from the Learning Luminarium as a mentor for the ACCA OXford Brookes degree in applied accounting.

Irwin’s advice and recommendations were crucial elements of my successful RAP. From the beginning of the mentoring process, he was supportive and provided guidance on the RAP.

Irwin promptly responded with comments to all emails and Whatsapp messages in a timely manner. His comments were the most significant part of the mentoring process.

The comments guided me in the right direction or made me examined critical points associated with the RAP

I highly recommend Irwin and The Learning Luminarian mentoring service.

Value for your money guaranteed!

Mentor: Irwin Loh (TLL)
Result: B grade – Upper Second Class (Hons)

I was writting 2(two) thesis at one time, one was OBU and the other was in Philosophy of Ethics. I was kept focused and targeted. Progress and Achievement comes from hardwork, dedication and investing in the right resources.

The one sentence that motivated me to pick TLL was – we have made all the mistakes, there are no mistakes left to make. The only ‘one’ thing left to do is pass and pass with a flying grade.

My B (Upper Second Class) is based on the marks achieved in ACCA papers + RAP. My avg. score in my ACCA papers was a mere 60% therefore the B (Upper Second Class) is actually the highest class that I could be awarded, meaning that the RAP was very good!

TLL is a team of professionals and they are in this field for a long time who understand the challenges faced by full-time students and the working class thus reciprocating in the most effective manner.

I can write alot of things but would rather recommend that you choose TLL and experince it first hand!

And yes Go Premium!

Thanks Irwin 🙂

I have utilize the Learning Luminarium to submit my RAP for period 36 and achieved a first time pass. Irwin ( my mentor) was very patient, encouraging when it became frustrating and promptly replied to questions even though there is a huge time difference. Irwin’s advice for sure helped with my positive result. I would definitely recommend the Learning Luminarium. Good luck everyone.

I have trusted Irwin from The Learning Leminarium to mentor me for the OBU project and would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality mentor who does live up to his promise!
I am qualified and in a senior finance role now, living and working between two countries, albeit, without a formal degree till recently. So not only i did not have much time, but also, were not very good with major pieces of written work.
Irwin has been with me throughout the whole journey providing invaluable insight to the topic, feeding back on the parts i had already drafted (he had great examiner perspective) and sharing tips for the remaining parts.
But what made the most difference to me was that Irwin was able to accommodate my always changing schedule. I had postponed, after already starting, by two years first time. Just as it looked i would have to do it again, risking going over 10 yrs limit, with just four weekends left till deadline, Irwin managed to reschedule the meetings and presentation, read my part submissions and fed back the same day which meant i submitted 10 hours before deadline.
I am extremly pleased with the C grade and 2.1 overall degree i have received last week. In short, as long as you have the will to engage with the project, Irwin will be there for you and i trully believe his involvement is tge difference between the pass or fail in this project.
The value added of my work with Irwin is a BSc degree and possibility to further my career by applying for masters degree course but most of all a skill and confidence in researching and writting reports.
Thank you Irwin, it was a pleasure to work with you.

I found Learning Luminarium through this platform. My mentor was Adrian Tan. He gave clear direction and guided me through the whole project in an organised way. He shared his views on my idea as well as his expectation on each topic, what is expected to be discussed and to be analysed in detailed.

I passed my RAP first time and achieved grade A. I never done a research study before. I struggled at the beginning. I don’t even know how should be the structure of a research paper. I really appreciate my mentor Adrian.

Student needs to have self-discipline to complete each section step by step in a targeted timeline. I would say time management is very important. Working adult really have to push yourself to work it out.

I passed my RAP with A at my first attempt. Many thanks to Irwin (TLL) who guided me through the whole project. I decided to avail of TLL mentoring based on the testimonials and OT recommendation. This was the best decision that I could have taken.
I had never written a project before and I did not know how to start. I was very worry not to be able to pass my RAP but thanks to Irwin’s directions and support I gained self confidence and complete the project.
I am self motivated person, however understanding is important for me to be able to complete a task. This was not a problem for Irwin as I have never felt that I could not ask a question.
I was able to submit all my queries to Irwin who replied to my emails and clarified any doubts within 24 hours.
Irwin was very flexible when scheduling our meeting and this was important for me as having a full time job my availability was during the weekend or evenings.
During our meeting I was able to discuss any parts of the project that I was struggling with, Irwin was always ready to shared his point of view that helped me to see things from different angle. This improved my understanding and directed me during my research.
I would definitely recommend Irwin to everybody. Thanks Irwin for your patience and help.

Rumour has it that the release of results is going to be delayed (you will recall that there were serious issues with P37 and that not only was the submission window frozen and then extended but the automated process was not available).

Although it has not been confirmed yet, I understand the results may not be available for another couple of months…..

I just received an email from OBU today that I passed the rap for period 37. So I guess period 37 results have been released to everyone else as well. It was so unexpected since I was really nervous about my rap but my mentor, Irwin from the Learning Luminarium, was extremely helpful. I could NOT have done it without him, to be honest. He was very professional as well as super friendly with me which made it comfortable to discuss the entire project with him. It was my first ever research report to write so I applaud his patience since I asked a lot of untimely questions, which regardless of our 12-hour difference, he immediately answered. I do not know what grade I got, I’ll update that as well as soon as I find out myself. For any other student who is thinking about which mentor to choose, I suggest going for the Learning Luminarium, especially Irwin. There would be no disappointment. Best of luck to everyone for the current and future periods!
