On this page you will find information about Specialist One-to-One Study Skills Tuition provided by the Disability and Dyslexia Service (DDS).
Study Skills Tuition sessions are individual, personalised support sessions for students with Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs) including dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD. The sessions are with specialist tutors who are qualified in teaching students with SpLDs.
For UK students, these sessions are funded through the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) which can also provide specialist equipment, assistive software and other allowances (agreed on a case-by-case basis). International students are funded by DDS.
Study Skills Tuition is aimed at making you a more independent learner by helping you to develop skills to enable you to work more efficiently and effectively. During the sessions, your tutor will help you to identify your strengths, using strategies based upon them to enable you to improve your areas of difficulty.
Topics covered during the sessions may include:
The number of sessions required will vary on a student-by-student basis and you will work with your tutor to establish an appropriate timescale based on your individual needs and deadlines as appropriate. You will receive no more than one session per week (one hour). Your Needs Assessment may contain recommendations regarding the total number of sessions and suggested topics to be covered.
