Royal Literary Fund Fellows
The Royal Literary Fellows can help students in every year of their studies to polish your academic writing, reading strategies, and organisation of material. If you would like to speak with a fellow about your style, clarity of argument, or if you need help with structure, tone, or simply getting to grips with the writing process, please do get in touch with them.Ìý (Note: this is not an editing or proofreading service).
Ideally, they will look at some of your written work in advance and then discuss it with you in person at the meeting. Please state in your email the times you are not available so that they can allocate you a session that fits in with your schedule. It’s best to book well in advance, if possible. If you leave it until the week your essay is due, you may find there are no free slots.
If you find you can’t make the appointment, please email them as soon as possible so that they can use your time for someone else. Students can book one or two tutorials per term, and sessions are available for any Courtauld student, from BA to PhD.
Academic Skills Support
One to one support is available for students who feel they need some additional assistance with academic writing conventions, speaking for presentations, or any other academic skill. Email the Academic Skills Tutor or see ³Ù³ó±ðÌýÌýfor more information.
