Online tutors give peer support and guidance for students who study regularly online. Online tutors can be found from example Telegram or Instagram. It is also possible to contact them via school email. They can visit in online lessons if needed. Tutors can organize big or small events and activities online or even as hybrid form in co-operation with campus tutors.
Online tutors advertise student events and share information regarding students in their channels. During autumn, online tutors will welcome new online students to school and as experienced older students they can help new students with Lapland UAS’ systems and guide students to services offered by UAS.
Head tutors, community developers of ROTKO and Rotko's peer tutoring specialist forms “Work group of Tutoring”. The group’s purpose is to follow execution of tutoring and to deal with situations regarding the development of it. Online tutors act as a scout of student online community and forward information, feedback and wishes from online students directly to the project coordinator of EtEne project.

Online tutor training is carried out remotely. The training starts with an online tutor training information session, where instructions for completing the training are given. After the info session, there is a self-study phase. In Moodle, there are short videos and related reflection tasks. The tasks must be completed before the first discussion session. In the discussion sessions, which are held online on Zoom, the reflection tasks are discussed and topics are talked through together. Applicants for the tutor role will receive further instructions and an invitation to their school email after the application period has ended.
