Become a tutor

Being a tutor is challenging but very rewarding. It requires teamwork skills, self-direction and time management.  Students of the first or second year can apply for tutor training. Those who want to become a tutor need to pass the tutor training. Only those students who complete the tutor training can operate officially as a tutor. It is possible to apply for tutor training only once a year.

During the year 2022 the tutor training will be part of the EtEne-project. During the upcoming year the tutors will get additional training. More info about these trainings will come later this year.
