At South West TAFE we are committed to continuing to provide a positive educational experience for all of our students.
COVID-19 has forced everyone to adapt, and to keep people safe we have also been working hard to implement a new way of studying for many of you. However, one thing that hasn’t changed is that we will continue to be there for you every step of the way. Some may find the transition to studying from home a challenge but we have many resources available to help you develop new skills and succeed.

Study help, anywhere anytime.
If you need help with English, maths, science, accounting, assignment writing, or just want a study coach, then the specialist staff at Studiosity are your first port of call. You will receive written feedback, can live chat over text or communicate over email. It’s available when you need it as it operates 24 hours a day 365 days a year. You can use Studiosity via Connect Live or Writing Feedback.
Connect Live 24/7 provides on-demand study help where you are able to receive support from a real person via an interactive classroom - with chat, collaborative whiteboard, and file sharing. It allows you to ask questions, send documents and have a tutor coach you through to an appropriate answer.
Writing Feedback provides written detailed feedback on assignments within 24 hours. Simply upload your work to the portal and receive detailed feedback in your inbox the next day. The tutors won’t give you the answers but they will help you with structure, grammar, and English skills.
Both Connect Live and Writing Feedback are available free to students and accessed via SWTAFE Online (Moodle) using your normal SWTAFE log in details.
The student wellbeing team is available to assist all students. They are available to chat, and can help you stay positive and focused on your studies.
