Preparing for a one-to-one tutorial

• Think about what you want to achieve from the tutorial

• Have a clear target – be realistic about what you can achieve in 30 minutes

• Where possible bring along an example of your work – it is easier to work from something concrete

• Check our workshop programme and online learning resources to see what other support is available from the Centre

• Turn up on time

• Cancel your appointment if you cannot attend – so that we can offer the appointment to someone else.

Our aim is to help you develop your academic skills. In doing this you will become a more confident and independent learner. So, please remember:

• We are not a proofreading service. We can, however, help you improve your proofreading skills, so that you can correct your own assignments
• We may not be subject specialists in your area of study - so we cannot comment on the content of your assignments
• We do not ‘mark’ work or suggest what mark you may get - we leave that you your course tutors.
