Academic Support

 

The most common questions we get are:

​

      Where am I losing so many marks?

      How do I structure this assignment?

      Is it better to quote directly or paraphrase my sources?

      How to use citations most effectively in my paragraphs?

      How else can I make my writing more academic?

​

​

If you are a struggling uni student, we can support you in the following areas...

  

Understanding your assignments

     (deconstructing assignment briefs, getting clarity on marking criteria and tasks...)

​

Reducing study stress

     (help with anxiety, stress management, wellbeing tips and advice...)

​

Critical thinking

     (questioning information, finding your voice, critical evaluation, argumentation...)

​

Writing development skills

     (planning, researching, referencing, assignment structures, drafting, polishing...)

​

Academic language and style

     (cautious language, nominalisation, academic grammar, sentence functions...)

​

Giving academic presentations

     (planning and preparation, articulation, visual aids, nerves...)

​

Lectures and note-taking skills

      (Understanding lectures, note-taking, summarising, notes-to-prose...)

​

Plagiarism and academic misconduct

     (finding your own voice, paraphrasing, summarising, using sources, using ChatGPT...)

​

* please note we do not write for students, and take plagiarism concerns very seriously,

       instead, we help you develop your own writing skills
