Do you provide in person support at university?

What people say about us
Emily
You've helped me in a variety of different ways, from developing study skills to understanding technology more to writing essays. You understand my needs and you help to solve them for me. What I like most is probably how for whatever problem I have, you're always able to help. I would definitely recommend you to a friend.

I'm in the last year of my course, and this has been my best support so far; he understands my needs. I'm busy during the day when on placement; my sessions happen at the weekend or evening, sometimes even on the same day if I need to talk. I like that he is good at listening and helps me talk through different ways of fixing problems. I wish I had this support earlier on I my course.

Having the support and someone to ask many questions to has been beneficial as well as having someone who is incredibly patient. It's been very helpful having someone very knowledgeable about supporting neurodiverse people in education with study skills and support. It's made accessing uni a lot less stressful. I would definitely recommend it.
