I so appreciate your time, care, expertise, and patience.

Many hours of fixing and chatting and learning. Your thesis was so professional I had to pay good attention to spot the needles in the haystack of brilliance. Loved our chats too.

“Thank you so very much for inspiring me to begin writing. Having you break down the work I now see and believe that it is possible. “Read into a structure….” Honestly? I will never forget that and the many other tips you shared.”

Thank you… ask me for a refresher anytime.

I would like to put in writing how helpful and incredible Tanya Pretorius has been during the preparation and completion of my PhD proposal. She has taken hours to help me familiarise myself with the online database and referencing programme Mendeley. She held lengthy zoom sessions where she worked with me on my proposal to ensure I had the skill to work the programme and could implement it into the proposal. What I have learned from her is the knowledge that will help me in the future in writing and publishing articles.

She was incredibly helpful and edited the proposal with tips and suggestions as well as checked my whole database on Mendeley. I felt quite anxious about the bibliography and making sure it was correct and she worked systematically and thoroughly with me and taught me the skills I required.

Her effort, passion and care during the completion of my proposal have been greatly appreciated and I just wanted to put it in writing as a form of acknowledgement of her incredible work and help during this time. 

I am truly grateful for TUT and the fact that there is such a person dedicated to helping with editing and reference systems.

The skills I have acquired will stand me in excellent stead for the future.

Thank you very much

Thank you., Pfunzo. I was honoured.

Later, Pfunzo recommended me to a colleague: “I would like to introduce Dr [—] to you. He is a colleague who has been extremely prolific since completing his PhD a few years back. He has a manuscript for a book that needs your genius and meticulous editorial skills.

Gosh, another thank you, Pfunzo.

I am extremely happy with the file. Your contribution is quite impressive and subsequent to that, my work sounds and looks professional now. You are very detailed and you gave my work 100 per cent attention. Lastly, you made sure that I learned a lot in this process and I am grateful for that.

“Tanya’s guidance towards drafting one’s thesis is extremely useful. Her tips are helpful and comprehensive, all the way from brainstorming and structuring one’s initial ideas, right up to looking at one’s thesis as a whole and fine-tuning its readability. I wish everyone has a Tanya when starting a post-graduate research study.”

It gives me virtuous pleasure to write this email and exhibit appreciation for the time you took to edit my academic work.

Thank you for your eagle-eye, and for a potential you saw in me that I never envisaged in my life. You have nurtured it.

As I leave the university, I thought it is important for me to bid farewell to you because you have imparted to me important academic knowledge and writing skills. I believe that the knowledge you gave me will be useful as I continue to shape my career both now and in the future.

Thank you once again for working vigorously on my and my students’ work.
