One-to-one guidance from an Academic Skills tutor without the need to book
Attend our weekly Drop-in. Thursdays 2-4pm on Gather.
Drop-ins are one-to-one consultations with an Academic Skills tutor; like a tutorial except you don't have to book in advance. Because they're shorter (limited to 20 minutes), they're best suited to aspects of academic skills that you have specific questions about.
These could include:
As of January 2021, our Drop-ins are hosted on Gather — a video calling platform set in a 2-D virtual space.
It takes place on Thursdays 2-4pm during term time.
When you join the Drop-in, you'll first be asked to enter a name for your avatar. Then, when you arrive in the waiting area, please add your details to the sign-in sheet. Like an in-person Drop-in, students are seen in the order that they arrive.
While you're waiting, feel free to have a look around the space. There are academic skills guides and activities to explore.
When the tutor is ready to see you, they will send you a message and invite you to come to the Drop-in Room. Once you're in the Drop-in Room, you'll be able to interact with the tutor using audio/video. To ensure that consultations are conducted in privacy, anyone waiting outside the room will be unable to see or hear your meeting. So please only enter the Drop-in Room when you're called.
If you have any questions about the Drop-in service, please get in contact.
