The centre is located in room A2054, in the quiet zone on the top floor of the Yeats Library. In this dedicated space students can avail of 1:1 appointments with experienced writing tutors in a friendly and informal atmosphere.
1:1 appointments can also be held live online in the tutor’s online meeting room. This interactive space allows for live discussion between the tutor and student, while document and screen sharing features enable resources to be shared and written feedback to be provided.
In order to accommodate our on-campus online, part-time and international students, we offer a range of 40 minutes appointment times from Monday-Friday.
In order to get the most from your appointment, it is helpful to bring along an assignment brief or a piece of work on which you are currently working, or have recently completed. If your appointment is being held online, you can upload your piece of work when you book the appointment, or email a copy to writing@nullitsligo.ie.
1:1 or small group appointments can be booked online through our Moodle page.
1:1 appointments are extremely popular and book up quickly: get in touch early in the semester if you think you could benefit from writing support.
If you have questions around academic writing, make our Moodle page your first port of call.
