Our Peer Tutors run several different types of free activities to help you with your written and spoken English, including a regular programme of workshops, one-to-one sessions and 'Coffee and Conversation' which is a weekly opportunity to get together and practice your spoken English with other students.

We have partnered with Rethink for the Step Up: University Programme which aims to improve university student mental health across the City of London. We have also developed a series of wellbeing workshops in partnership with UCL University Clinic and iCope. The workshops draw on the principles from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), to address common student challenges such as low mood, worry, perfectionism and assertiveness. These workshops have been pre-recorded and are co-delivered by NHS University Clinic staff and UCL students. Find a workshop.
