The Maths Gym is please to provide maths and stats support on each campus via drop-in sessions and appointments.
Please check the relevant link for your campus below. As always virtual appointments are available from any campus 🙂
Drop-in Sessions
Drop-in sessions are open, supported study sessions where you can ‘drop-in’ with your questions. There is no need to book, simply turn up and a tutor will be on hand to help you. There is no limit to the number of sessions you can attend or how long you stay! These are for ANY student at HWU with maths/stats based questions (you don’t have to be a mathematician).
See the campus information below for current times and how to attend.
Appointments
Appointments are perfect for individuals or small groups (2-3 students) who require a bit more time with a tutor or who have a more in depth question. These are available to ANY HWU student and are currently available, virtually, via Microsoft Teams or in person on the Edinburgh campus.
To book an appointment, please visit our booking page to find an available slot.
If you can’t find a suitable appointment on the booking system give our drop-in sessions a try – they do not require booking.
If there are any issues with booking then please get in touch mathsgym@hw.ac.uk.
Workshops
The Maths Gym workshops are an opportunity to have guided study sessions with your peers and a Maths Gym tutor. There will be ample worked and practice examples to demonstrate the techniques discussed.
These are designed as revision sessions and are not intended to introduce you to new topics; they can be very useful to refresh your knowledge on areas of maths and stats which you need to apply to your current courses.
Workshops will be running in-person on the Edinburgh campus this semester.
The workshops will be a revision of the topic on offer – perfect to brush up any skills you need – and will be a combination of worked examples and interactive exercises, led by our wonderful teaching team.
