At Jewel & Esk 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:
- organising yourself
- reading efficiently
- taking notes
- information gathering
- giving presentations
- writing reports
- essay writing
- revision techniques
- exam skills
- memory skills
- planning projects
- 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.
