English and Academic Support Sessions

You will meet an English tutor, who will give advice and practical tips to help you improve your academic English. 

They can help with: 

• Academic writing (structure, paragraphs, organisation) 

• Grammar and vocabulary 

• Reading, listening and note-taking 

• Presentations (organisation, answering questions) 

• Pronunciation 

• Seminar skills and building arguments 

Tutors can also suggest useful learning resources. 

Important information  

• They can help you develop your English skills. 

• They do not proof read or correct your full assignment. 

• Tutors are not subject specialists and cannot help with assignment content. 

• The Aber Skills webpage shows other academic support that is available at the university. 

These sessions are useful for: 

• Students whose first language is not English

Before your session: 

• Think about what you want help with 

• Bring part of your writing (if you want help with writing) 

• Bring essay plans or notes if you want help with organisation 
• Have clear questions or goals for your session.
