Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@notesondemand.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is a Non-Medical Helper (NMH) and How Can They Help?

A Non-Medical Helper (NMH) is a professional who provides support to students with disabilities to help them access their education. This support is often funded through schemes like Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA). An NMH can provide a wide range of services, including specialist notetaking, study skills tutoring, and sighted guiding.

At Notes on Demand, we specialise in providing professional and reliable NMH services tailored to each student’s unique needs, ensuring they can succeed in their studies.

What is a Specialist Notetaker? Manual vs. Electronic Notetaking: Which Is Right for You?

A Specialist Notetaker is a professionally trained individual who provides high-quality notes for students with disabilities or specific learning difficulties (SpLDs). Unlike a standard notetaker, a specialist is skilled at adapting their approach to meet a student's specific needs, ensuring the notes are clear, concise, and easy to review. Our team of specialist notetakers is highly experienced and dedicated to capturing the most essential information in lectures and meetings, helping you focus on the content and succeed in your academic or professional life.

The choice between Manual Notetaking and Electronic Notetaking depends on your specific needs and course requirements. Manual Notetaking involves writing notes by hand, which can be useful for subjects where visual diagrams or equations are essential. Electronic Notetaking involves using a laptop to type notes, which is ideal for students who need to capture detailed information quickly and accurately. I provide both services and can assess your situation to recommend and deliver the best solution for you.

A Guide to Applying for DSA (Disabled Students’ Allowance)

The Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA) is a government-funded scheme that provides financial support for students with disabilities in the UK. The allowance helps cover the cost of equipment, specialist software, and non-medical help (NMH), such as a specialist notetaker.

To apply, you must be a UK student with a diagnosed disability and complete a formal application. We have extensive experience working with students who have received DSA funding and can offer guidance on how our services fit into the process.

Who can use your notetaking services?

Anyone! My services are fully inclusive — available to students with or without DSA support, apprentices, professionals, and individuals with or without disabilities.

What kind of personalised support does the Academic & Career Coaching service offer?

Personalised Assignment Guidance: Unlock your full potential with personalised one-to-one assignment guidance. Whether you need help understanding a brief, structuring your essay, improving your research skills, or refining your arguments, I offer tailored support to enhance your academic performance and build essential study skills for future success. It's not about doing the work for you, but empowering you to excel.
Personalised CV & Cover Letter Optimisation: Don't let generic applications hold you back. Through my one-to-one CV and cover letter optimisation service, I'll help you craft compelling documents that showcase your skills and achievements. We will strategically refine your content to align with your target roles, ensuring your applications grab recruiters' attention and open new doors.

How does remote notetaking work?

No special equipment is required. For remote services, a stable internet connection and access to your preferred platform (e.g., Zoom, Teams) is sufficient. Resources such as PowerPoints or session content are welcome if available to share as this helps with familiarity, terminology and formatting to tailor to clients needs.

Can I book recurring sessions in advance?

Yes, we can schedule recurring weekly or monthly support—ideal for lecture series, training blocks, or ongoing workplace support
