Testimonials
“After seeing your webinar, I just thought I need him to help me out” Stacey Searle 80% SBL (Full-time Employee).
I know I am late with posting my ACCA results, but it took me 2 days to get used with the idea that I have passed my first professional exam in the first attempt. Only 49% of students who sat Strategic Business Leader exam this September passed; therefore, I am proud to be one of those 49%.
I was prepared to fail knowing that I have tried my best in preparing for this exam. But all the hard work has paid off on 17th at 5 am when I got the results.
I could not have passed SBL in the first attempt without Ashim Kumar FCCA help, who guided me throughout the study programme. He has tailored his support to my needs, always fitting around my busy schedule, constantly checking my progress and mock results in zoom meetings, and full WhatsApp support for any questions. I would highly recommend FME Learn Online for ACCA students, especially for those who have exemptions for all Applied Skills exams.
Just wanted to drop you a note of appreciation and let you know that you’re an amazing teacher. You’re organized, responsive, patient and able to clearly explain complex topics and nuances. I really enjoyed every single minute of your tutorials and I’ve learned a lot! Not only that, your timely emails and constructive feedbacks have been extremely helpful.
Your feedback on assignments were always very detailed, you explained the rationale behind your comments very well and I appreciate it very much.
I have scored 63% in SBL March 2020 exam which is the highest marks in Saudi Arabia for which I have received a certificate of Top Achiever as well. Ashim Kumar is the man for the JOB!!, Thank you so much sir.
I passed SBL with 58% and finally cleared my ACCA exams. I’d like to give you a big credit for what you did to ensure we pass. The course materials were on point and most importantly up-to-date. Apart from the live webinars which proved really useful, the 24/7 support you offered during the course was superb really. I cannot thank you enough for what you did as I was almost hopeless until I met you. Thanks again!
SBL is a daunting paper; it requires knowledge of many earlier ACCA papers as well as containing huge amounts of data to analyse in four hours. Mr Kumar guided me through a system for dealing with all these challenges as well as teaching me the right exam technique. I enrolled on Mr Kumar’s on-line Revision course only 10 days before the first SBL sitting and I passed. I earned 82% ! Thank you Mr Kumar
“…I hadn’t sat an exam for seven years…”
Dat Nguyen 89% SBL (Full-time employee)
I had the privilege of having Adam help me for my ACCA exam, and I can confidently say that his support and approach were pivotal to my success.
Adam is exceptionally rigorous, structured, and organized, traits that made our study sessions incredibly effective. His ability to break down complex topics and structure sessions for maximum productivity was outstanding.
What stood out the most was his unwavering support. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or lost, Adam was always there, ready to lend a helping hand and motivate me to keep going. His empathetic approach, combined with his sharp understanding of the syllabus, created an environment where we could thrive together.
Adam’s fantastic organisational skills and his knack for creating engaging, productive study sessions made a challenging journey much smoother. I cannot thank him enough for his role in my ACCA journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Adam to anyone looking for a collaborative and dependable professional, whether in a learning or workplace setting.
I had the pleasure of working with Adam as my Accountability Coach while preparing for my ACCA exams, and I can confidently say that his guidance made a huge difference in my study journey.
Adam helped me improve my time management skills tremendously, something I had always struggled with before. Through his structured approach, I learned how to plan my study schedule effectively and make the most out of every session. He also guided me on how to organise my study materials in a clear, efficient way, which made revision far more manageable and less overwhelming.
One of the biggest areas of improvement for me was being able to answer full questions under exam conditions. Adam helped me build confidence and develop a solid answering technique, ensuring I was better prepared for the real exam environment. His consistent support, motivation, and practical advice kept me accountable and focused on my goals.
I’m extremely grateful for Adam’s professionalism, patience, and commitment to my progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an Accountability Coach who genuinely cares about helping students perform at their best and achieve success.
Thank you for all the guidance and support. I am sure that I couldn't have done this without you. You made the course enjoyable! I wanted to study and take part on the calls. Everything was structured, well explained and I loved the personalised feedback you provided us. At the day of the exam I wasn't stressed at all because of how well you prepared us. I think you are the best tutor I have had in my life....
Wanted to share fantastic news on my SBL result. Passed with 71%. Once again many thanks for a very inspiring revision course
I passed the SBL exam today with 68 marks. I can do it because I have a chance to learn from you, thank you so much!!!
