What our students say about Deb:

“The way the course was presented was fantastic. There was never a dull moment. Deb Doyle is an outstanding presenter. She made the course enjoyable and very easy to understand. Deb showed genuine interest in our desire to learn. I’ve gained knowledge as well as confidence in my grammar and punctuation skills.”

– Claudia Arrage


“Deb has encyclopaedic knowledge and an easy, breezy, inclusive style; she made learning a pleasure. Already I am more confident – I now have a name for the nausea inducing corporate speak that is rampant at my workplace – Nominalisation. It is my curse, but also my new cause!”

– Dianne Mansell


“Deb was fantastic. She really knows her stuff. I now have a better basic knowledge of grammar and punctuation.”
