My sessions with my students are usually one to one. I establish with the student what their needs are and the results they wish to achieve. If it's a study matter, we work out a plan that fits in with their schedule and draw up a daily and weekly plan. This is usually broken down into specific subjects, tasks and achievable timeframes. I usually meet the student once a week to check in and monitor progress, but also to listen to the student 's own sense of progress and reflect back possible ways forward if necessary. I have been working with second and third level students on a one to one basis since 2016. Some have been preparing for Final level exams and others preparing for Viva PhD exams. My experience has taught me that a timely intervention at times is all someone needs to enable them to realise their potential. I have also found that once a student has made the decision 'to go for it' the presence of an other guide may be just the catalyst for new beginnings. I absolutely love working with students when I see them beginning to blossom and take off with the added bonus of achieving their goals oftentimes inspired by someone like me!
