This term is primarily dedicated to revision and preparation for exams. Different people's wishes/need for tutes during this process may vary. If any of you would like to arrange individual tutes in addition to those scheduled, I am happy to cooperate, if given enough notice. Please note that I am unlikely be available for such extra tutes in weeks 2 or 7.
