“I felt really well supported at Wintec. Student Learning Services helped me get started and the people at the helpdesk and library always helped find solutions and alternatives when I needed it. I particularly appreciated the help from Te Kete Konae – they always made the time to work with me, whether it be to better understand my assignments, or to practice my presentations, or just to have a chat. I found them really friendly and welcoming.”

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

For whatever reason, if at any time you need help with your studies, there’s a team of people at Wintec whose job it is to provide that help. Student Learning Services (SLS) Staff give you the learning support you need. They offer free workshops, individual or small group tutoring, support in understanding English or your topics ranging from: introduction

to study; reading and essay writing, to science, maths and advanced study skills. They also provide academic learning consultations.

“When I started at Wintec I found it hard, but

then Student Learning Services helped me.

They found me a peer tutor who helped me to

understand what I didn’t in class and helped me

to find resources for my assignments. I am having

no problems now.”Skyla Ha,
