Do you have office opening hours?

Office Admin Hours.

Truthfully we don’t really hang out in the office.

We find computers, flour and water don’t mix. Mostly we are in the school baking, teaching or filming, so we respond to emails and non-urgent queries on emails and Vanessa does a live session each week for any queries.

This session is ideal if you want to speak directly to me. I find this a much quicker way to answer peoples queries than long emails!

If you would like to ask a question we will review it and send you an invitation to attend. The sessions are NOT shown on the catch up, so you will need to attend live. You are muted and asked to be respectful of the other students in the meeting.  It is an open session and I am happy to chat with people once I have answered any questions sent in, and I have enough time.

Sessions are 45 minutes long. I am very sorry but this is the time limit as I have to be in another tutorial at 5pm.
