Appointments

Personalized 30-minute appointments


Meet with a Writing & Learning Strategist, in person or online, to tackle assignments, strengthen study habits, and get feedback on your writing (especially when you're still drafting).

Whether you're encountering challenges or building on your academic strengths, you’ll leave with practical strategies you can use right away.

If you need help booking, email sls@mtroyal.ca.


Ways we can help

Writing your first-ever university paper? Polishing an honours thesis or capstone project? Just trying to get started? No matter what the assignment is, you can work with a Strategist on it.

  • Studying & time management: study strategies, schedules, exam plans, memory and concentration, test-taking strategies
  • Writing & research: planning assignments, paraphrasing and quoting, citations, grammar
  • Presentations: confidence, structure, slide design, practice delivery
  • Group projects: managing group dynamics, role clarity

We focus on coaching and skill-building rather than editing or proofreading papers (but we can show you how!). We can help with test-taking strategies, but we can’t review or comment on answers for an active exam (including take-home exams).

Appointments are available to students taking:

  • Any credit course

Appointments for group projects

If you are working on a group project, you can book a one-hour appointment with a Writing & Learning Strategist. Look for two open 30-minute appointments back to back and book the first appointment spot. Then, email sls@mtroyal.ca to request a one-hour extension. Please include the names and MRU email addresses of all group members attending.
