Learning Support Team
The Learning Support Team offers you a warm welcome to the college. We provide a wide range of support interventions for disabled students, care experienced students and those with an additional support need.
If you told us on your application form that you needed support, we should have contacted you already to make an appointment. If you have not been contacted, or you feel that you would now benefit from learning support, please get in touch now.
Ideally, we would like to offer you an appointment before you start college so that your support is in place for the first day of term. Get in touch with us at learningsupport@cityofglasgowcollege.ac.uk
Laura Peach shares helpful information about Learning Support.

Assistive Technology
To support you, we have devised a microsite showing example videos of common Assistive Technology programmes.
Erin Clow, Administrative Assistant
My name is Erin.
I work as an Administrative Assistant in Learning Support.
I studied Business Management at Glasgow Caledonian University and graduated in 2018.
Part of my job involves working on the Learning Support Reception Desk where I greet and book appointments with students.
A favourite quote of mine is, ‘Start today with a grateful heart’.
My name is Emma Hodge and I am one of the Learning Support and Development Advisors at the City of Glasgow College. I support students within the Education and Humanities faculty who are facing barriers to their learning. This involves meeting with students and discussing their strengths and challenges and implementing appropriate support interventions to help remove any barriers that our students have to help enable them to become independent learners.
In my spare time I try to be outdoors as much as possible – weather permitting! And love to catch up with my family and friends.
'If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow’ Beyonce.

Robyn MacPherson, Learning Support Lecturer
My name is Robyn MacPherson and I am one of the Learning Support Lecturers at the college. I am the link lecturer for students enrolled in Hospitality, Events or Social Sciences programmes who need academic support with their studies.
My role is to support students to develop their study skills - either in one-to-one sessions or within small study groups.
I’m originally from South Africa and moved to Scotland in 1999 for the weather! When I’m not looking after my two children, I enjoy growing veg in my allotment and socialising with my friends.
I’m David, the Assistive Technologist at the College. Assistive Technology is any software, or equipment that aids someone with a disability to communicate, learn and live an independent, fulfilling and productive life.
Examples of assistive technology are mindmapping software and adaptive mice, or low-tech tools such as coloured paper and overlays.
If you are recommended any software to help with your course, training you to use it will be my job and my pleasure.
