- Critical thinking and writing skills
- Academic reading skills
- Managing your time
- Dissertations
- Revision techniques
- Exam performance
- Understanding lecturer feedback

Quick query - Drop-ins
Academic Skills Tutor are available for quick queries and questions every afternoon in the Student Support Hub (SSH). These drop-in sessions take place from 2.00pm to 3.00pm, Monday to Friday in consultation room 8.
You can also pop in to an online drop-in every Wednesday afternoon via the link here: AST Quick Query - Online Drop-in
Please note that our drop-in sessions operate on a first-come-first-served basis, so there is no guarantee of being seen. The drop-in sessions are ideal if you just have a quick question or query. In some cases, it might be more appropriate to book one of our scheduled one-to-one appointments instead.
Academic Skills Guides
There are a range of downloadable guides available via the menu link on the left.
Neurodiversity Support
If you have been formally identified with a specific learning difference (SpLD) such as dyslexia, dyspraxia or ADHD, the Neurodiversity support team at City St George's can offer you specialist support with your studies including tailored one-to-one academic skills tutorials.
