Halfterm Learning: writing support that fits UK university marking

Halfterm Learning began with a queue. Our founder worked as a tutor in a university writing centre and watched the waiting list grow every term. Students booked a slot, waited weeks, and often got their appointment after the deadline had passed. International first-years were hit hardest, because they were learning the rules of UK academic writing and the course content at the same time.

So we built something quicker to reach. Our tutors have English for Academic Purposes backgrounds, and our study skills coaches work with you online, one to one. We start with your own assignment brief and marking criteria. Then we work on the parts that cost marks: building a critical argument, structuring an essay, referencing properly, and understanding what academic integrity means here. No generic lectures. Just your work, on screen, with someone who explains why.
