Individual assistance in English and mathematics is<br />
available to students enrolled in courses at <strong>Swinburne</strong>. The<br />
need for tuition may be related to a student's problems<br />
with a mathematics and/or English subject. Alternatively,<br />
difficulties in English or mathematics may affect a student's<br />
progress in a range <strong>of</strong> subjects <strong>of</strong> their particular course <strong>of</strong><br />
study. Particular attention is given to the provision <strong>of</strong><br />
English tuition to students from non-English speaking<br />
backgrounds, including international students.<br />
Tuition may be short-term to overcome a specific difficulty<br />
or arranged on a weekly basis over a longer period <strong>of</strong> time.<br />
