How can Learning Enhancement help you?
One-to-ones
Are you struggling with a study skill such as paraphrasing, referencing correctly, or even just one prickly assignment? Book in a one-to-one and we’ll talk through the best practice at your own pace. These sessions can take place in-person or online. We can also help you to prepare for an assignment, resubmission or exam.
Presentation feedback
Sometimes it can feel nerveracking to present infront of a class or for your lecturer. Practicing in a safe environment will help you to build confidence and get some friendly feedback before you do it for an assessment.
Assessment feedback
Email your written assignment at least 5 days before the due date and we can provide you with some written feedback on how to improve.
Workshop requests
Has something passed you and some of your classmates by? If you know a few students would like some help on a particular issue, then Learning Enhancement can run a pop-up workshop on this study skill topic.

Learning Enhancement has helped me a lot to improve my English writing and grammar and made me confident to write my assignment. I would recommend it for students. The service provided is beyond what I expected, you can get feedback on your assignment to improve it or to get help on how to use references, paraphrasing and so on.
