One-on-one and/or small group academic counselling and learning skills support to students. In this semi-informal forum, attention is given to specific individual or small group needs, while helping them to develop their learning skills.

​Students who are doing the same module are assisted in small groups (8 students per group).

Individual consultations deal specifically with reading challenges faced by the individual student. Students bring their own course reading material and get assisted with the specific reading challenge that they are facing.

Group consultations are also facilitated, provided the group is facing the same reading challenge.

UJ writing centres assist both under- and postgraduate students through one-on-one, group, and online consultations.

They also assist lecturers through academic literacies workshops, tutor training in academic writing support, and language and assessment.
