For individual support (June – August) you can email englishsupport@derby.ac.uk to ask questions or to book a 1 -1 appointment to discuss your work.
Please note englishsupport@derby.ac.uk is an advisory and support service and not a proofreading service.
We can offer feedback on things like structure, style and development of arguments and part of this could include some feedback on grammatical and language use accuracy. To do this we will look at 1-2 pages of work. To get the most from this service, you should indicate which section you want us to focus on and highlight specific questions for us.
