What is Study Skills Tutoring?
Your Study Skills Tutor, also referred to as ‘non-medical helper’ or ‘Support Worker,’ is awarded to you if you are deemed eligible for this service in your DSA assessment. The Support Worker aims to enhance and improve your academic skills and strengths, identifying areas which require improvement, as well as identifying and expanding on your current educational strengths.
