Individual Assistance from Arts Academic Language and Learning Unit
At the Arts Academic Language and Learning Unit we can help you with:
- Understanding essay questions
- Locating sources
- Reading
- Planning drafts
- Structure and expression
- Avoiding plagiarism
If you need individual help with your work, come to the AALLU for either:
In an individual appointment:
We read your work in order to assist you to analyse your approach.
- We help you to develop strategies or learn new skills in academic writing.
We do not "edit" or "proof-read" your assignment. If you require a proof-reading service, ask us about our list of contacts who will do proofreading on a fee-for-service basis.
Drop-In Sessions
Come to drop-in sessions when:
- you are stuck on a piece of work
- you don't understand what an essay topic requires you to do
- you need some feedback on short sections of your writing for relevance, structure etc(1-2 pages)
- you have any quick queries about study, writing or language matters.

Consultations By Appointment
Longer consultations:
Only one consultation can be booked at a time.
All appointments should be made at least three (3) days in advance.
Students are usually limted to one (1) consultation per week and staff may restrict the number of consultations a student can attend per semester to ensure equal access to Language and Learning services for all students.
It is preferable that you bring only sections and/or parts and/or outlines of longer essays (3,000 words +) for discussion in a consultation. As stated above, we do not proofread essays or assignments. While we are very happy to read, and encourage you to bring your assignment drafts, you should not expect us to read all of an assignment during your consultation.
To make an appointment, please contact us by email or phone. It is a good idea, if you are emailing, to suggest a preferred campus, day and time for the appointment:
