SSC Academic Coaches

SSC Academic Coaches

Do you want to get a few quick resources for starting an essay or managing your time, but don’t want to book a full appointment to talk about it? Do you want to ask questions about some of the services that are available to you? Come to the 2nd floor of Mills Library and talk to an Academic Coach!

Academic Coaches will be at Info Desk in the Learning Commons from 12:30-4:30 from Monday to Friday. You can drop-in and talk to them about your studies. They might answer your question right away, or they might help you book an appointment with one of our excellent services on campus.

The Writing Centre

Writing Centre

Whether it’s a fully drafted assignment, essay outline, or even scrap pieces of notes that don’t fully make sense just yet, we offer writing assistance that can help you achieve your writing goals. Meet with one of our trained upper-year or graduate Writing and Academic Skills Tutors to talk about your academic writing.

Our Tutors cannot proofread, edit, or write your work for you, but they’ll help you build new skills and see your writing in a new way!

Appointments start in mid-September. Book an appointment on OSCARplus under “Appointments.”
