Who can use the Communication Skills Centre?
All students undertaking study at Stranmillis University College are invited to take advantage of the services and resources offered by the Communication Skills Centre.

What happens during an appointment?
During an appointment your peer tutor will work with you to build on the knowledge that you have already learned and demonstrated through your writing. We assess and build upon the strengths and weaknesses of the work you present to the tutor and help you improve various essential skills so that you can make your writing as effective as possible.

What do I bring for an appointment?
To make the most of your appointment we would ask that you bring:
- The assignment or essay question.
- A printed, double-spaced copy of your paper, at any stage of your writing.
- Questions for your tutor about your paper.

How often can I come to the Communication Skills Centre?
Only two appointments may be spent on the same assignment. However, you may visit the Centre with different assignments.

What happens if I need to cancel an appointment?
Cancelling your appointment well in advance is important because we need time to contact one of the other students who are on the waiting list. Cancellations should be made at least 24 hours in advance.

What other services does the Communication Skills Centre offer?
In addition to the peer tutoring services the centre are offering seminars on a range of topics that will support our students and their professional development. These will be advertised in the ‘Special Events’ section of our website.
