Well, it’s just that – support which is in addition to the course you are studying. Our support services are there to support, guide and advise all students regardless of your course, the level you are studying or if you already receive another form of support. Whether you need a little extra help with your studies, specialist equipment, or just need a chat, the team are there for you.
Every student who walks through our door is different! We want all students to flourish and excel while helping to develop confidence, self-motivation, independence, and life skills. That’s why our Additional Learning Support (ALS) Team is here for you every step of the way. Our ALS services provide support, guidance, and advice alongside your studies, and are available to everyone – no matter what level you’re studying at or already receive another form of support. Whether you need a little extra help with your studies, specialist equipment, or a chat, the team is here and will create a personalised support package for you.
These are just examples, and if you’d like to talk about any support that hasn’t been outlined or support you feel you’d benefit from please pop into our Learning Support base in A104, call us on 0191 427 3500 or email als@tynecoast.ac.uk.
