1-to-1 Consultation

These consultations provide the opportunity to practise individual presentations and receive immediate feedback relating to structure, slides, delivery and language. This is an opportunity to build confidence and improve presentation skills.

Tutors can advise on, for example, the process of paraphrasing, summarising, quoting or referencing. Feedback can be provided on language accuracy, style, cohesion and coherence. Note that we cannot provide a proof-reading service and cannot advice or comment on the academic content of reports.

Designed for international students whose first language is not English, these consultations complement the provision from Careers. Consultations provide a final check for impact, grammar and vocabulary, but it is recommended that your content is first discussed with careers consultants with specialist knowledge of your preferred industry.

Consultations are bookable via Symplicity after CVs have successfully passed Vmock screening.
