  • developing academic writing skills for all types of assignments
  • improving academic reading, speaking and listening skills
  • referencing skills and demonstrating academic integrity.

Depending on availability, you can book up to six appointments per semester. These can be booked one appointment at a time, up to four weeks in advance.

Our aim is to help you build your academic skills independently. To make sure all students have fair access, we don’t provide ongoing or long-term support.
