Most of the team are Academic Skills Advisors, who meet with students to discuss any concerns they may have about their academic writing, referencing, searching for books and journals, making presentations etc. This can be during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/uni-skills\/1-2-1-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1-2-1 appointment<\/a> where we can focus solely on your work, or during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/uni-skills\/uniskills-workshops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UniSkills workshop<\/a> where we meet with you in groups and tackle academic skills together.

Meeting with students and helping them when they are struggling with their writing or referencing is a big part of my role, and there is nothing like it when a student suddenly grasps criticality or reflection and can apply it to their own assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of work, I\u2019m kept busy being mum to a lively 8-year-old. Any free time is taken up with reading and catching up on Netflix. I am powered mostly by coffee and cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\">Maisie Prior \u2013 Academic Skills Advisor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Maisie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Maisie.jpg\" alt=\"Maisie Prior - Academic Skills Advisor\" class=\"wp-image-16418\" width=\"292\" height=\"339\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hello, I\u2019m Maisie and I\u2019ve been an Academic Skills Advisor for over 3 years.

This can involve one to one support, a UniSkills workshop or an embedded session arranged by your tutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find it very rewarding to help someone with something that they may have struggled with and to see their understanding develop. It\u2019s good to see students back on campus, working hard and experiencing some normal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My main hobby is hillwalking, and this takes me all over the UK and even all over the world.

I love that my Academic Skills Advisor role enables me to meet and support so many different students. Since starting in this post I have enjoyed developing new initiatives, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/2020\/01\/21\/returning-to-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Returning to Learning<\/a> \u2013 a learning community which enables students to support each other, and more recently I have loved designing and creating an interactive Academic Integrity and Referencing Toolkit for students and staff to use. Keeping my mind and body healthy is important to me, so I regularly go to the gym, do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkrun.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Parkrun<\/a> most weeks, and play badminton when I can.

I&#8217;ll be covering both information skills and academic writing skills sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve previously worked in academic support and have also lectured for around a decade. I&#8217;m a published academic but have recently self-published two fiction books &#8211; one collection of short stories, and one book of poetry.

I have been a lecturer in FE for 20 years and so really understand the transition that students make from FE to HE. I particularly enjoy helping students to become independent learners and gain the confidence to develop academic style and flair, as they embark upon their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/uni-skills\/academic-reading-writing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">academic writing<\/a> journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we have emerged like butterflies from the somewhat sheltered cocoon of lockdown, I am excited to feel the buzz of a new academic term and interact face to face with students to work on the skills they need to be successful with their HE studies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I\u2019m not at my desk, I\u2019m kept busy with two young children and can be found frantically adding travel documentaries to my Netflix watch list and lusting after my next far flung escape, in a bid to travel vicariously until restrictions are fully lifted.&nbsp; I also enjoy the seemingly unachievable task of trying to beat my fastest time at my weekly local Parkun.

I am quickly discovering that Edge Hill has a wonderfully broad range of learners, from many different backgrounds, and it is engaging with these people and helping them improve as academics that most appeals to me. Writing or researching for university assignments is very much a skill to be learned, and I\u2019m always happy to help in its development. If I can also spread my love of cricket and ancient Rome to unsuspecting victims, then so much the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Away from Edge Hill, I like to run, swim, eat, and write stupid stories about TV shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\">Ellie Pauley \u2013 Academic Skills Advisor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Ellie.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Ellie.png\" alt=\"Ellie Pauley - Academic Skills Advisor\" class=\"wp-image-16430\" width=\"211\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Ellie.png 295w, https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/ls\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2021\/11\/Ellie-172x300.png 172w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi I\u2019m Ellie.
