The ability to write clearly and academically is an essential skill at university. At HELPS, we can review your writing and provide you with individualised feedback. The only way to improve your writing is to be aware of any issues you may have, and learn how to overcome them. That's what we do.

Assignment chat (Drop-ins)
At drop-in advice sessions you can ask quick questions about your studies and assessments (except for any subject content matter) without having to make an appointment.
One-to-One consultation

After you have attended a drop-in advice session, if a longer consultation is required you may be able to book in for a 30-minute one-to-one consultation. Having a one-to-one consultation is an opportunity for an in-depth discussion in relation to your specific needs on an assessment.
Online writing review
