LSE Life also offer:
One-to-one sessions
LSE LIFE Study Advisers
LSE LIFE study advisers can help you with reading, making notes, writing, research, exam revision, and other study-related tasks or questions. These 30-minute sessions take place in LSE LIFE Workspace 1. A meeting room is available on request if you would prefer to discuss your question in private.
Study advisers can help with work such as understanding the essay question/topic, planning an essay, developing the structure of a piece of writing in the early stages. However, they will not be able to provide much support with last-minute requests. Please note that proof-reading is not part of the LSE LIFE offer. For information about proof-reading, please visit the Language Centre website.
Sessions are available every day, 10am – 6pm.
Book a session with an LSE LIFE Study Adviser on the Student Hub.
Walk & Talk
Discuss study-related topics with an LSE LIFE adviser, while taking a stroll around Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
Why walk and talk? Research from the fields of education and psychology shows that a change from your usual work environment, a gentle walk, fresh air and the sounds of spring can all inspire diversity of thought and well-being:
- Walking can open up the free flow of ideas, creativity and problem-solving.
- Talking with someone can help explore different perspectives and options.
- Green spaces can be refreshing and help restore attention and focus.
Look out for Walk & Talk sessions with LSE LIFE Study Advisers on the Student Hub
