What is a 1 to 1 from DSA?

I've had my DSA assessment and a DSA assessor has recommended a 1 to 1, what is a 1 to 1? I've heard you can get a mentor from DSA is a 1 to 1 a mentor or different?

I think its probably the same thing. Someone you'll be seeing one to one on a regular basis.

heya, I've had a 1 to 1 specialist mentor since 1st year (I'll hopefully be going into 3rd year in October). Basically, they check in with me weekly either via videocall or phonecall (you can choose :smile:

). My sessions with the tutor usually are about how I'm getting on, which courseworks I have, organisation, that kind of stuff which I find quite useful.
I'm not sure if this differs from someone who would physically join you in lectures/seminars/labs like a notetaker or aid. although apparently, it does happen from time to time.
