Tutor Training
How to be a great tutor?
Students, PhDs and junior teachers play an important role within our TU/e education. Sometimes they act as tutors* during instruction sessions, in CBL courses or in labs. Tasks of these tutors consist of: supporting students in their learning process, guiding meetings, discussing exercises, motivating students to move on or to dive deeper, asking and answering questions and reflecting on the learning process with the group. Sometimes tutors play a role in formative and summative assessment or they give instructions to student groups.
There is a standard tutor training for all tutors who play a role in education. The intended learning outcomes of this training can be found below. If you already followed the standard tutor training, there is also an advanced tutor training.
*Tutors can also be called Student Assistants, Teaching Assistants, Teacher Assistants, Supervisors or Instructors
