Free, one-to-one English language support for students for whom English is an additional language
The Student Learning Common’s Academic English Coaching program offers free, one-to-one English language support for students for whom English is an additional language.
Note: This service is only available to registered SFU students. Non-SFU students, including visiting scholars, post doctorate students and FIC students are not eligible.
Registration
To participate in the program, you need to register online. You will then be contacted to schedule a consultation.
In the first consultation, the consultant will review a sample of your writing, and work with you to create a learning plan to meet your needs. This plan will include identifying one or two short term goals and recommend services, supports, and resources at SFU to help you achieve these goals. You will be encouraged to spend one to three hours per week working independently on your plan and to schedule two additional consultations.
During subsequent consultations, the consultant will review your progress towards meeting your short-term goals, help you identify longer term goals, and suggest additional resources.
