ICAEW CFAB, ACA
Level: Certificate
Subjects tutored: Accounting, Management Information
Result: 78% [/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1598″ img_size=”120×120″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
I decided I needed some tutoring for my Management Information and Accounting exams as part of my CFAB qualification (aka the Knowledge modules for the ACA). I generally prefer one-to-one sessions, as opposed to big classroom learning, so I looked on the ICAEW’s website to find their affiliated partners.
I contacted a few, but decided to use Fervent due to their speedy response to my enquiry, their enthusiastic attitude and thorough one-to-one telephone assessment of my weak areas. Originally I had intended to have the tutoring in person, but due to my location to their centre I opted to go for the remote learning option over Skype. I was a little sceptical at first to whether or not this would be as effective, but upon my first session my fears were quickly put to rest.
My tutor was enthusiastic, academically qualified, friendly, patient, understanding and had the appropriate technology to make the tutoring as good as if it were in person. Unlike a classroom session, having the one-to-one training meant we could skip through the areas I picked up very quickly and focus more on ones I didn’t (making it better value for money). The tutor was very flexible with the times of our sessions, adapted to my style of learning and offered alternative ways to learn. We would then have revision lessons nearer the exams to iron out any creases and to go over questions from the ICAEW Question Bank that I didn’t understand the answers too.
I passed both exams with flying colours and entered them with (relative) confidence compared to the other exams which I had not used their tutoring. I would have no hesitation of using them again if I decide to progress onto the professional level (and beyond!) or recommending Fervent to a friend.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]With a background in Marketing and Sociology previously, Alex decided he wanted to upskill by earning the ICAEW CFAB qualification and possibly going all the way through for the ACA. He wanted help with Management Information (MI), specifically in areas he was relatively weaker including the NPV, IRR, Budgeting and Variance Analaysis, etc. Having been to College where the pace was either too fast or too slow, Alex thought it’s best to get some 1:1 help from one of our Distinction Tutors. In keeping with standard Fervent protocol, a Customised Learning Plan was designed and shared with Alex, after which the lessons began. Within a few weeks, Alex had a total command of MI – and then went on to learn Accounting with us, too. Not only did Alex earn a significantly high grade in both modules, he actually felt significantly more confident about the subjects. And knew why equations work the way they do.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”***” border_width=”2″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

I have had a great experience with fervent tutor as I was taught more of the content and less memorizing. I think their timings and their work is professional as the tutor seeks the most efficient and productive way to help the student. I studied accounting with the tutor and it contributed greatly to my knowledge for the exam.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Abdul needed help with Financial Accounting at the second year University level. He had traditionally only studied by memorising concepts and regurgitating them in exams. Struggling to see why the approach that had worked for so many years wasn’t quite getting him the results at University, he decided to take action and get expert help from our highly qualified tutors. What followed was a complete transformation in Abdul’s approach to learning – a new way, focused on the fundamentals. Abdul felt significantly less pressure and was able to answer questions more critically and analytically. The result – a First Class (73%).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”***” border_width=”2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1597″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle”][vc_column_text]Duangruethai

Throughout the period of doing my Master’s dissertation, I felt agonised from not only researching my specific topic but also writing clearly with no any grammatical errors. Fortunately, I found Fervent which offers efficient and comprehensive services. At first, I just expected my dissertation to be improved in terms of grammar; however, Fervent provided me much more than that. All essential aspects such as formatting, structure, logic, consistency of analysis and critique, strength of arguments are also checked and corrected. One thing that I’ve been very grateful is related to my topic details.
In addition to pointing out some big mistakes and recommending more accurate and professional alternative solutions, fervent gave me many more interesting and valuable ideas which helped to develop my content to have stronger arguments and more critical analysis. My tutor’s suggestions helped me become more analytical in my thought process and in producing a better research paper; my critical thinking skills also saw a considerable improvement. Without Fervent’s support, I don’t believe I could have been awarded an excellent grade for this dissertation. Thank you so much for invaluable help over my hard time.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Duang needed help with her empirical dissertation from a methodology standpoint as well as a language one, with the latter only making up a small proportion of the overall project. What started off as a request to check the grammar and punctuation of the thesis, quickly became a full-fledged consulting service. As with all our students, we give a fair and objective opinion on what they need help with, and what they don’t. Duang decided to take our advise and upgrade to the premium service, giving us the opportunity to help her understand everything from hypothesising to testing and analysis, all the way through to the nitty gritty details of formatting and structuring, ensuring the entire thesis flows whilst each chapter stands alone by itself too.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”***” border_width=”2″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Despite finding myself totally overwhelmed by having to understand and create a statistical model, I was apprehensive about contacting anyone for assistance. I need not have worried! From the first contact, team Fervent put me at ease and focused on both my academic achievement and on getting me in the frame of mind for absorbing all of the information that I needed. The tutors with whom I were worked highly skilled, friendly and focused. Although it would have felt great to have been spoon-fed – their approach was collaborative and I can proudly say that the resulting work is my own and that I am now confident and competent in quantitative analysis. Without Fervent’s holistic approach to education, I would still be stumbling in the dark. Thank you.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]With a long break from formal education, combined with family and professional commitments, Nicky was in a challenging situation – not to mention a fear of numbers, and a highly quantitative dissertation topic at hand! Nicky’s dissertation topic required very specific knowledge in advanced econometrics – something even we didn’t have despite our extensive experience. So we went out and found the best talent, hiring an expert tutor in Korea to work with Nicky and an in-house Fervent tutor Online. With two tutors, both with complimentary and extensive knowledge and experience, and the effective use of state of the art technology helped Nicky not only gain an understanding of the required methodology, it actually helped her overcome her fear of numbers and take control of advanced econometric techniques.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Jiajian (Evan)
BA (Hons), Business and Management
Level: Undergraduate
Subjects tutored: Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Management, Management
Result: First Class (71%)[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1596″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
Undoubtedly the gains that I have acquired from the studying with Fervent are plentiful and significantly make me different from what I used to be in terms of my expanded knowledge base, improved English skills (e.g. English-writing), as well as being more confident communicating with English speakers and with the improved ability to think differently and critically for dealing with various types of course works in my study in the university more readily.
My tutor is specialized not only in the teaching of Accounting and Finance but also very familiar with the relevant knowledge in the subjects such as Marketing and Management. This is why I trust this person at an initial point along with his kind, friendly and very patient characteristics (e.g. I’m always encouraged by my tutor during the session with him, often to hear: if you really want it and then you can do it and will make it with no doubts).
“Skilled worker ushers in the gate, leads a pious life depending on individual.” This is a Chinese old saying which I can still remember vividly because it was what my tutor had told me in my first session with him and made me believe an excellent learning outcome and a constructive learning process requires the hardworking from both of us. The record shows we did it. This is another reason I like Fervent as in the session with my tutor you see his hardworking as for the preparation for each session and in making the sessions distinctive from cliché-ridden teaching-and-listening classes by exploring the best way and the most suitable set of teaching methods to provide the student with the best value for money.
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Jiajian (“Evan”) needed help with a variety of subjects throughout his time at University. With a strong desire to build the right set of skills, Jiajian exemplifies the character of students that make us jump out of bed at 5am, and excited to work with and help students. Working closely with him, we were able to understand the learning techniques that worked best for him, thus optimising every minute we spent together, and creating the best possible learning experience, consistently. Over the course of his journey with us, Jiajian significantly improved his critical thinking abilities, and learned how to synthesise academic theory with real world practice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column]
