Specialist Study Skills Tuition

Our team of specialist Study Skills tutors understand how you learn and potential barriers to learning; their support will enable you to fulfill your potential at college or university.

Our tutors are highly qualified and have experience supporting learners who have Specific Learning Differences (including dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia), physical disabilities, hearing or sight loss, autism or mental health difficulties.

Your support is tailored to your individual learning styles and needs. It is delivered on a one-to-one basis to develop core study skills and competencies, in order to support you with independent skills and strategies for life.

When and where?

We want you to be able to access your support when and where it is right for you, so your support can be delivered in person on campus, at work or virtually via email, telephone or video call 9am to 9pm, 7 days a week.

Funding

Study skills tuition is usually funded through the Disabled Students’ Allowances or Access to Work but some people pay privately or are sponsored by their employer. If you use our service to access a tutor, we will invoice your funding body directly and deal with all the employment requirements of your tutor, such as recruitment, payment of tax and national insurance.
