Tutoring & study skills
Understand the brief, plan the argument and write it yourself, with a subject specialist in your corner. Sessions from US$30.
From blank page to a plan
Three deadlines in one week and no idea where to begin? A tutor helps you work out what each brief is really asking, plan your time and build an outline you can write from.
- Unpacking the brief
What the question is asking, how the marking rubric works and what a strong answer covers.
- Planning and outlining
Turn your reading and ideas into a structure before you write a word.
- Feedback on your draft
Written comments and a conversation about what is working and what to improve.
- Research and referencing skills
Find good sources quickly, take useful notes and cite correctly in APA, Harvard, MLA or Chicago.

Tutoring questions
Will you write my assignment for me?
No. We teach, plan with you and give feedback on what you write. The work you hand in is your own, which is also why the skills stay with you afterwards.
Can you look at my draft before I submit it?
Yes. Send it over and your tutor will comment on structure, argument, use of evidence and referencing, and talk you through the priorities.
My deadline is close. Is it too late?
Often not. A single focused session can be enough to fix a plan or a weak section. Tell us the date and we'll say honestly whether we can help in time.
Deadline coming up?
Send the brief and your date. We'll reply with a session plan and a fixed quote.
