Jewel & Esk College

Midlothins College of
life long learning

Jewel & Esk College Logo

At Jewel & Esk College we aim to help all students make a success of their
studies and achieve their goals. Teaching staff are committed to assisting
students to fulfil their potential in individual subject areas.

The College recognises that for quite a large number of students the learning
process can be a daunting experience – particularly if it is some time since
school or a previous college attendance. It may be that some study support
early in your course would make all the difference to how successful you are.

Study support includes help with:

  1. organising yourself
  2. reading efficiently
  3. taking notes
  4. information gathering
  5. giving presentations
  6. writing reports
  7. essay writing
  8. revision techniques
  9. exam skills
  10. memory skills
  11. planning projects
  12. using the library

For a number of students, learning is made more challenging as a result of a
specific learning difficulty or a disability that requires specialist support.
Study Support staff can offer Extended Learning Support and confidential
guidance to students with such needs.

Difficulties may be associated with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder,
dyspraxia, sensory impairment, social or emotional difficulties, health
problems, mental health problems or mobility difficulties. In addition,
we are able to assist students who qualify for the Disabled Students
Allowance with the completion of their application form and advise them
on supportive technology. Formal assessments for the DSA
are carried out in College.

How to contact us

Students are invited to contact any of the Learning Support staff in person,
