Information for students

If you receive Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) we can provide you with Specialist One-to-One Study Skills and Strategy Support (SpLD, ASC) and Specialist Mentor Support (ASC). This support gives you the strategies you need to make a success of your studies.

Getting your support from the Degree Doctor is easy because we fit around you. And as the cost of tuition is paid by your funding body, there are no payments to organise either.

What we offer

An approachable, friendly tutor who specialises in working with degree students, has extensive experience of the higher education environment – including as a university tutor – and holds specialist qualifications in specific learning difficulties and autism. Find out more about Dr Sophia here!
Sessions at a time to suit you, including at evenings and weekends. Regular weekly slots are available, but we also offer sessions flexibly on an ‘as and when’ basis. We often have slots available at short notice for when deadlines are looming.
Remote support via online video conferencing platforms such as Zoom and Skype when you can’t make it in person or if you live elsewhere in the country.
An Individual Learning Plan and Learning Agreement drawn up in the first session to ensure that support is tailored to your individual needs and to provide a framework for sessions.
A free DSA application assistance service. If you are unsure about the DSA application process we can guide you through it, from getting your evidence in place right through to receiving your equipment and support.
