Adam Devine
Academic Skills Advisor
Academic Development Team
As an Academic Skills Advisor, I work with learners to develop academic skills such as planning, reading, note-taking, writing and critical thinking. I also work with the School of Health and Sports Science to facilitate workshops and online activities (discussion boards, etc.).
Currently, I facilitate:
- Individual appointments (in person/Microsoft Teams).
- Specialist Study Skills appointments for learners with Specific Learning Differences.
- In-course skills workshops (predominately with the School of Health and Sports Sciences).
- Functional Skills English L2.
- Pre-study induction programmes.
- Academic and Study Skills workshops (L3 - L7).
I also have experience in coordinating peer support programmes. I see my current role as someone who advocates inclusivity, action learning, and self-efficacy.
