Gary is an extremely engaging and intelligent person who can explain complex ideas well and is an excellent communicator who is takes a genuine and keen interest in people. He has a passion for learning and sharing his knowledge which is considerable. I highly recommend him as a tutor.

I have known Gary Bills for five years in my capacity as a magazine editor and publisher. He is one of the best modern poets and fiction writers in the world today and internationally acclaimed for his sonnet poems and short fiction stories. Having published many of these works by Gary, I can attest to his professional approach to creating his own work and teaching English/Literature. He teaches with passion, patience and care. His pupils/students enjoy learning through the right balance of serious study with a touch of humour that guides and encourages them to attain the highest standard of academic achievement.

Gary was a student on the MA Creative Writing programme at Birmingham City University, for which I am the Course Director. I always found Gary a pleasant and capable person - and he passed with Distinction in each of his four modules on the course, resulting in a Distinction for his Masters degree overall.

Gary has not only excellent qualifications, but is also a capable and careful tutor, very mindful of the person he has in front of him. He is able to bring out the best in his students with patience, understanding and humour.
