Support & Tuition

I work closely with university students at -

• Cardiff University
• University of Glamorgan
• University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC)
• University of Wales, Newport
• Swansea University

Each student benefits from one-to-one study skills support throughout 6th Form and their years at university to cover those areas where there is a weakness which may affect their grades. A pragmatic approach is taken, where support, and the skills required to carry out study tasks, is generally governed by the student’s immediate study needs.

Support is tailored to the student’s needs but covers:

• Coursework planning and organisation
• Time management skills
• Study organisation skills
• Research skills
• Memory improvement skills
• Exam preparation

HE students have the choice of where they receive support. They do not have to accept support from their university where support may be non-existent or tutors may be inexperienced or unqualified. Call me if you have any doubt.

Support, which is carried out in the workplace, is similar to the above but tailored specifically to help employees overcome their difficulties experienced within the workplace.
