Specialist Study Skills Tuition
Specialist Tuition is primarily awarded through your Disabled Students Allowance (DSA), however if you have a disability, but are not eligible for DSA funding we can normally cover the cost of this service through the University of Hertfordshire Disability Fund.
Contact us if you are unsure about which funding method is right for you.

- Presentation preparation and techniques

- Planning your workload

Helping you to prepare
You should prepare for your study skills sessions by making sure that you take along assignment briefs or academic work that you are struggling with.
Your work will not be proofread or corrected for you; however you will be taught skills which will improve your ability to complete work independently.
The sessions usually last for 1 hour, however you will agree a time and place which suits you best with your tutor.
Sessions are arranged after your discussion with your Disability Adviser. You will be matched with a tutor who will contact you to arrange a start date.
You will be expected to let the tutor know at least 24 hours in advance if you are not able to attend.
