Tutors

Our Philosophy is that top-quality students, leading busy lives in their professions, deserve top-quality tutors. CeFiMS has nearly fifty subject specialist tutors to guide students through their subjects and comment on their assignments. They are experienced university lecturers with great expertise in their subjects, and they have specialist skills in teaching through distance learning.

Support Staff

The high success rates of CeFiMS students obtaining their degrees through distance learning is due to the care that our support staff give. The staff are continually in contact with students. They ensure that high quality materials reach the students on schedule, that assignments are handled efficiently, and that students' queries are answered well.

CeFIMS degree and diploma programmes are supported by a team of administrative and clerical staff led by Ms Cecilia Litvinoff. Deputy Registrar.
