Many students struggle with academic writing. Studiosity is an online service providing students with 24/7 academic writing support either by live one-to-one chat or by uploading a more significant piece of draft writing for review. Each student has 6 credits that can be used this semester and each credit gets one support session. It is recommended that students save their credits for submission of a meaningful piece of academic work as credits can be used up quickly.
The Subject Specialists at Studiosity are academic experts and teachers who read and comment on every file submitted. They won’t proof read or correct a file for quality or relevance of content, they solely provide comprehensive feedback on grammar, structure, referencing, and English. The service is available to all undergraduate students.. Once students have uploaded their draft, they get it back in less than 24 hours to critically examine their writing, and incorporate the feedback they have received.
NB: there is a limit of 5,500 words and a file size of less than 4MB per submission.
