Improve your study skills by working with our Peer Advisors. They can help you with:

  • time management
  • connecting you to campus supports
  • setting goals and measuring outcomes
  • effective reading strategies
  • exam preparation
  • note-taking and listening techniques
  • presentations & public speaking
  • working in groups
  • managing time and avoiding procrastination
  • concentration and memorization
  • student wellness

Study Skills coaching is offered regularly throughout the academic year. Students can make an appointment by emailing PeerAC@dal.ca or drop by the Student Success Centre to meet with a Peer Advisor during their weekly office hours. 

Study Skill drop-in sessions are also offered in the Student Learning Commons on alternating Monday and Wednesday evening in Room 207. During the first 30 minutes Peer Advisors will lead a short workshop related to a speicific skill, for the remaining hour students are welcome to drop in to work with a Peer one-on-one or in small groups.
