Please note

• You will be invited by your tutor to submit the written work you wish to discuss in advance.
• We advise on aspects of style or structure, but are not subject specialist tutors, so we cannot advise on content.
• We focus on your draft rather than editing or correcting completed or submitted assignments.
• Whilst we can help you to improve for the next assignment, we cannot offer an opinion on marks given by tutors.
