How One to One Tutorials Work
Before the tutorial, you will be asked for the skills you want to work on and what the aim our time together will be to ensure a bespoke experience tailored to your exact requirements. Sessions last from one hour to a full day. Multiple scenarios will be covered in great depth and replayed to reinforce the learning outcomes and insure best practice and important skills really sink in.
Sessions can take place in your home, at your place of work or study or at an agreed upon location convenient to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where will the session happen?
Sessions can take place in your home, at your place of work or study or if that isn’t possible then many places have spaces for hire in convenient locations at a small charge.
Do you provide the scenario for the tutorial?
Many clients want to use specific scenarios which they provide themselves, which is not a problem. I will need the scenario at least 24 hours in advance of the session so that I can learn it and identify the skills and learning outcomes to be covered.
If you would like me to provide a scenario for the session then I will need 48 hours notice so I can source or create one that meets your requirements. There is a £10 surcharge per scenario for this service.
I'm preparing for something specific, do you cover this?
Communication skills are global and good communication works across all sectors and professions. By focusing on skills and strategies rather than the smallest details of the setting you can prepare for any situation.
That being said, if you can give some detail on the setting you will be facing, be it an exam, an interview or a difficult situation you are anticipating, I can make every effort to recreate this.
Are you clinically trained?
No, I am not clinically trained. I have worked across the world as a professional communication skills trainer and taken part in hundreds of clinical exams as a simulated patient, giving feedback to the examiner and have a very good understanding of how various exams, such as the MRCPsych CASC, CSA, Stage 3 GP Selection Centre, OSCE’s and other exams work and can give you useful tips and tricks to boost your exam technique in addition to building your communication skills and strategies.
How do I pay for the session?
A deposit must be made in advance. This will cover travel costs and venue hire where applicable (which are in addition to the tutorial fee) plus 25% of the session fee and is non-refundable.
The remainder of the balance can be paid in cash or by bank transfer at the start of the session.
I had the pleasure of working with Ed [from Procommskills.com] in an international communication skills workshop in Egypt. I found Ed to be an excellent teacher. He has a brilliant aptitude for communication skills, a keen eye for noticing subtle communication errors and a gentle positive attitude in helping his students overcome the obstacles they faced. He is a surprisingly good actor and adapted to his roles with ease and confidence. I have no hesitation in recommending him whatsoever.
