A student and a teacher having a one-to-one discussion online

Book a 1:1 session with a CfAE coach

Not sure how to get started improving your communication? Or maybe you want to receive targeted advice on your speaking or listening in particular?​​​

In our 20-minute sessions you can:

  • ask a CfAE coach for general guidance on how to improve your academic speaking or listening
  • check which resources you would most benefit from
  • share a short sample of your work (e.g. assessed presentation or viva preparation) if you feel it would benefit the discussion

You can book as early as 4 weeks in advance and as late as 5 hours in advance.​​

The Business School requests that their students and staff contact their Global Skills Development team about their equivalent to the Centre for Academic English provision.
