University Study Skills Tutor (SpLD)

First Class Support provides academic support to students in receipt of disabled student allowance (DSA). We pride ourselves on only employing first class support specialists that are passionate about making a difference to the lives of people studying higher education courses across the UK.

Your Role: You will work with students on a one-to-one basis both remotely and face to face, to address the issues which some students might have in acquiring, recalling and retaining information in written and spoken language as well as the range of other difficulties that students with specific learning difficulties often face when working in an HE context. This role will include:

• Enhancing organisation skills
• Exam preparation
• Develop memory skills
• Structural advice regarding assignments
• Support with spelling, punctuation, grammar and accuracy of thought presentation
• Advice relating to research techniques
  
  

Your support will be tailored to a student’s individual needs and you will use your professionalism and experience to deliver support where clear goals and timescales are of paramount importance. Often, students will require ongoing support throughout their course; others might require less support as the course continues; while some students might need additional support as the demands of their course intensify.

You will possess an awareness of the strengths which students with specific learning difficulties can bring to a learning situation, and the skills to help students to make use of these strengths and overcome barriers to learning.
