If you’re a Tavistock and Portman student or staff member and you need help with searching our databases or referencing, information skills trainer Mathieu Lubrun offers group and one-to-one sessions by Zoom. People who’ve had training with Mathieu have described it as ‘invaluable’, ‘supportive’, ‘insightful’ and ‘fun’! Email Mathieu to book a session.
We are pleased to report that Mathieu has achieved the status of Fellow of Higher Education Academy and is happy to give training sessions embedded into academic long courses. Mostly these are pre-arranged with your tutors, but if you find that this hasn’t happened, do request that your tutor arranges a session for your group.
