Individual assistance in English and mathematics is
available to students enrolled in courses at Swinburne. The
need for tuition may be related to a student's problems
with a mathematics and/or English subject. Alternatively,
difficulties in English or mathematics may affect a
student's progress in a range of subjects of their particular
course of study. Particular attention is given to the
provision of English tuition to students from non-English
speaking backgrounds, including international students.
Tuition may be short-term to overcome a specific
difficulty or arranged on a weekly basis over a longer
period of time.
This service is available from the houses located at 40 to 44
William Street in Hawthorn and room H638 at Prahran.
Understanding staff are available to discuss people's
problems in English and/or mathematics and follow up
with appropriate tuition.
Community Access Programs
Ph: 9214 8634
Staff are also responsible for providing access to any
members of the community who wish to improve their
English and/or mathematics skills.
Consequently, a variety of courses in mathematics and
English are available at a range of different skill levels from
one-to-one tuition to small group classes. Two return-tostudy
programs cater for those who wish to enter either a
science or humanities course. In addition, courses are
provided with appropriate mathematics and English
content to cater for students interested in sitting an
entrance examination in nursing, the police force,
ambulance service or the fire brigade.
