What is MASH?
MASH is the University of Sheffield's maths and statistics support centre. We're based at 301 Glossop Road and are available to help all students, in all years, on all courses with their maths and statistics
1:1 support: guiding and supporting your learning
We provide 1:1 appointments and drop-ins for maths and statistics. All students at the University are eligible to book a 1:1. You can book as many as you need – the only restriction is that you can only book one at a time. Alternatively, you can drop-in to our centre during our opening hours and speak with an advisor. Statistics advisors are available from 10:00 - 13:00 and maths advisors are available from 13:00 - 16:00.
Our tutors are very experienced and across the team we have a good knowledge of the common maths and statistics issues students encounter. As MASH is a stand-alone service not attached to academic departments, our 1:1s provide an alternative, more informal environment to explore any issues you are encountering with maths or statistics. Often a difficult topic can be straightened out just through another explanation from a new perspective. MASH is able to provide that support. A little careful, directed advice at the right time can be a big step towards succeeding on your course.
