GTV男同 Peer Mentors

Drop-ins are delivered by Peer Literacy Mentors who are trained senior students selected for their strong academic performance, writing skills, and leadership qualities.

Peer Mentors can help you break down your assignment question and get started on your work. They can also provide library assistance and study skills support, including time management, note-taking, and managing readings.

Semester 1 2026 Program

Peer Mentors will be rostered at Chifley, Hancock, and the Law Library from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm, Monday to Thursday.

What to expect

There is no need to make appointments for drop-ins. 

Drop ins are designed for relatively quick queries. Typical issues we can discuss are:

  • analysing a question
  • understanding the requirements for a report, critical review, annotated bibliography or some other type of assessment
  • developing a plan for your essay, report, oral presentation or other type of assessment
  • referencing questions
  • preparing for exams
  • time management techniques
  • general library help

General guidelines

Peer Mentors can give feedback on short pieces of writing, generally up to one page. If you need detailed feedback, book in with a Writing Coach or Learning Adviser instead.

Peer Mentors do not provide assistance with

  • academic content
  • estimate of a likely grade for your work, or
  • take-home exams.
