One-to-One Tutor appointments

Our Academic Skills tutors work in collaboration with Royal Literary Fund Writing Fellows to give 1-to-1 guidance, working with you to help develop and enhance your academic skills and provide advice for your written assignments. Our academic skills tutors do not provide a proofreading service but they will work with you to help you develop skills to proofread your own work.

Summer Appointments

During the summer there will be reduced availability and waiting time for an appointment might be longer than during semester. You should factor these timescales into your planning when requesting an appointment and allow additional time for a response to your query.

The full service will resume in September.
