Academic speaking and study coaching
Academic speaking appointments
We offer 30 minute appointments (one-to-one or small group) for academic speaking practice and voice confidence.
You can focus on a specific type of speaking activity, such as:
- delivering a slide presentation or a poster talk
- participating in a podcast interview, professional discussion, or supervisor meeting
- making a pitch to a non-expert audience.
We'll give you the opportunity to practice in front of an experienced skills advisor.
Appointments are available online or face-to-face.
Study coaching
Discuss your current approach to academic life to help develop your study skills and strategies. The coach will guide you in your journey of self-discovery. They won't look at any written work, provide feedback, or critique you in any way.
Online and on-campus appointments are available.
