Study Skills and Mentoring Support

DSA-funded support for higher education students across the UK

The Degree Doctor provides specialist one-to-one study skills support and specialist mentor support for higher education students in receipt of Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA). Working remotely with undergraduate and postgraduate students nationwide, we offer flexible, personalised support to help students develop the strategies, confidence and independence they need to succeed in higher education.

Remote support

The Degree Doctor provides online support to students across the UK. One-to-one sessions delivered by secure video conferencing offer personalised support wherever you are based.

Flexible sessions

Sessions are arranged at times to suit you, including evenings and weekends. Regular weekly appointments are available, but support can also be provided flexibly around deadlines, placements and the demands of life outside university.

Specialist skills

Alongside specialist qualifications in specific learning difficulties, The Degree Doctor has 15 years’ experience supporting neurodivergent students in higher education, including those with dyslexia, ADHD and autism.

Thank you for all your support and extra guidance – you handled my worry with care.

I honestly think I wouldn’t still be on the course if it hadn’t been for your support.
