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.
