What is tutoring?
Every new student has a right to have a tutor! Tutors are signed to new students in the beginning of the studies. If this is not the case, please contact JAMKO immediately.
Student tutors work as mentors and guides for the newer or younger students. Tutors, as older students, have the privilege to share their knowledge and experiences. Tutor activity takes place around the year but the focus is on the autumn period when the new students arrive.
Four kinds of tutors
1. Peer tutors: in the Finnish degree programmes with the degree students
2. Degree tutors: in the international degree programmes with the degree students
3. International tutors: with exchange students
4. Sport tutors: encourage and instruct all JAMK students with exercising
All tutors are recruited and trained by JAMKO.
BEING A TUTOR
Tutoring is a course, so a reward comes in the form of study credits!
As a tutor you develop your problem solving abilities, presentation skills, communication skills and networking. Working as a tutor you'll get new friends and meet a lot of people. You might even get employed though this path, as the tutors receive a certificate for the work they have done. This experience is well appreciate in the working field.
When tutoring is done:
How to get your credits?
