Welcome to the Weekly Tutor Consultation Hour!
This dedicated time is your opportunity to connect directly with an epi tutor and receive valuable support on key EQE topics, especially in preparation for the upcoming examination.
What You Can Expect
Each session focuses on key topics relevant to the EQE. Sessions are aligned with the current examination structure, covering Paper F and as well as Papers M1, M2, M3 (drafting, defending and attacking) and M4. This is your opportunity to clarify doubts, revisit complex concepts, and ensure you are on the right track with your preparation.
