Support and private lessons in higher education

Bachelor's, university college, university: three realities

In higher education, failure rarely comes from a lack of work. It comes from the volume: nobody has taught a first year student how to absorb 400 pages in three weeks, or how to sort what will be examined from what won't.

Our coaches at this level come from the discipline: they have sat the same exam, often at the same institution. That is what makes it possible to target a single subject rather than going over the whole year, and to be useful for a resit, when time is by definition short.

Sessions usually last 2 hours and lessons start at €40/hour in higher education. We also support the writing of a thesis or final project (TFE), from the research question to proofreading. Preparing for the medical, dental or veterinary entrance exam? See our medical school prep.

Handling that kind of volume can be learnt: that is the purpose of our study skills lessons. For a single subject, see our maths, statistics and accounting lessons in higher education.

Higher education: your questions

Yes, and it is one of the most frequent requests at this level. A resit is all about targeting: there is rarely time to go over everything, so the work consists of identifying what really caused the student to fail the exam and tackling only that. A coach who has sat the same exam knows where marks are won.

Yes. The support covers the research question, structure, methodology and proofreading. The coach does not write the work for you: they step in at the stages where students get stuck, usually framing the topic and the final layout.

All the details, step by step, are on our thesis support page.

Our coaches at this level come from the discipline and have often studied at the same institution. It is the main selection criterion in higher education: knowledge of the subject as it is taught and assessed where you are.

The course with Olivier was very good and helpful, even we had only sheduled 8 hours in order to prepare the exam he managed to go through the complex material and both explain and do exercises. Olivier knows the contents of Statistics by heart, and due to his good knowledge he is capable of explaining thoroughly the issues, he has a good teaching approach, demanding also input from the student, he can even explain the very tricky specialities of statistics and could also give good hints how to perform the exam in a good way, as we are still waiting for the result of the exam from University I can state that Noël felt much better prepared and secure. He did a large amount of excercises with Olivier. We are very happy that My Sherpa could organize this good teach and we can recommend him to any other family and student. Olivier is a friendly person, and besides hard working can be also good for a joke. Currently there are no further exams planned in that area, but should we ever be obliged to get support, we will contact My Sherpa, because there we know we get a good service, thanks again
