TUTORING

What is tutoring about

Would you like to explore your academic potential and develop your research skills under the guidance of an experienced scholar? Or perhaps you prefer to delve into the intricacies of a profession or discover your strengths? Sign up for tutoring at our Faculty!

Tutoring is a series of individual meetings during which students develop their academic and professional potential, as well as so-called soft skills, under the attentive guidance of a tutor. A tutor is a selected academic supervisor who has completed a certified tutoring course. You can find tutor profiles in a separate tab – we encourage you to explore them!

We offer two types of tutoring, and the student and tutor jointly decide which profile of cooperation will be implemented. The first type is academic tutoring, during which the student develops their academic interests or learns new research methods. The second type is developmental tutoring, where the student’s personal growth is the primary goal. Both types can be combined. The tutor’s role is to support students in seeking individual paths of academic, professional, and personal development within our Faculty.

In both academic and developmental tutoring, the two members of the team – the tutor (who guides the student) and the tutee (the student) – are equally important. Tutoring creates a space for creative collaboration between student and tutor and offers an opportunity for a shared intellectual experience that enriches the development of both parties. The tutor’s role is to inspire and motivate students to achieve their chosen goals by supporting their independent work and providing feedback on its outcomes.

What does tutoring cooperation look like? It usually consists of a series of eight meetings (one semester). The schedule and rules of cooperation are established individually between the tutor and the student. Tutoring goals are tailored to the needs of the tutee and may include both academic and developmental objectives. These goals are achieved through regularly prepared written assignments (e.g., essays) or other tasks designed to develop academic or professional competencies. The tutor–tutee relationship is based on the voluntary participation of both parties: tutors voluntarily join the tutoring program, and students independently choose their tutor based on their interests and tutoring goals.

If you would like to take on the challenge of personal growth, explore paths of professional development and inspiration, work on a selected academic topic, learn how to write academic texts or present knowledge effectively – sign up for tutoring at our Faculty! Tutoring is much more than the examples listed above. Get in touch with a potential tutor from our Faculty and find out more!
