Study Skills Support
Build confidence. Learn your way.
Our one-to-one Study Skills support is tailored to your unique learning style and designed to help you thrive at university. Often referred to as Specific Learning Difference (SpLD) support, it focuses on developing the academic skills and strategies that build confidence, independence, and success in higher education.
Where it’s helpful, we also weave in assistive technology tools and techniques — making your support more holistic and practical. If you're receiving Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA), this joined-up approach helps you get the most from all your available resources, reinforcing what works for you.
A strengths-based, personalised approach
We’re here to help you understand how you learn best — recognising your strengths and working together to support any challenges. You might already have tools or techniques that work for you. We’ll help you build on those, refine them, and explore new strategies that suit your needs, goals, and pace.
Together, we can work on:
- Staying organised and managing your time effectively
- Planning and structuring essays with clarity and confidence
- Reading and proofreading in ways that feel manageable
- Finding note-taking methods that support your learning style
- Navigating research and referencing with less stress
- Preparing for exams with memory-boosting, stress-reducing revision strategies
- Understanding and managing procrastination — especially where it connects to mental health
Our goal is to help you study with more clarity, self-direction, and self-belief — so you can focus on your learning, not just the logistics of keeping up.
Expert tutors, flexible support
All of our tutors are highly trained and qualified to work with students who experience a range of learning differences. They bring both expertise and empathy — creating a supportive space to grow your skills in a way that works for you.
- Support is usually delivered online
- Sessions are 1 to 2 hours, depending on your needs and DSA allocation
- Everything is tailored to your learning style and academic goals
If you’re unsure about what kind of support you need, just reach out — we’re here to help.
“I really struggled at the beginning with my reading skills as the amount of reading I had to do was huge! My tutor noticed that my note-taking and reading style was ineffective. Over the last two weeks, we've worked on this and I've found her help and advice amazing. She has totally changed the way I look at reading, and my notes are now much more efficient, relevant and structured. This has meant that I go to class with a much clearer, broader understanding of a topic. I couldn't be more grateful to her for all her help and support — she really does go the extra mile for her students.”
