What student support should I look for if I struggle with mathematics?
If you struggle with mathematics, check whether your courses offer instructor office hours or learning consultations, remedial or supplementary classes, mathematics tutoring, or peer study support. If the difficulty is persistent or may relate to a disability or learning difference, also ask about accessibility support. Confirm through official information what subjects are covered, who is eligible, how to book, whether there is a fee, and when support is available.
Key points
- Check for instructor office hours, academic consultations, and supplementary classes.
- Look into mathematics centers, tutors, and peer-support programs and their eligibility rules.
- If difficulties persist, consult the university’s accessibility or disability-support office.
- Confirm booking procedures, fees, covered subjects, and available periods.
Things to check
- The name, scope, eligibility, and availability of support vary by university, faculty, and course, so check the latest official information.
