?Tutor-Mentor Programme ?
The Tutor-Mentor programme is a student driven peer-academic support programme in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. The programme focuses on supporting first year students during the academic transition from high school to university and second-years in preparing for the increased workload and exposure to the clinical environment. Senior students in the faculty are selected as Tutor-Mentors (a.k.a. MenTuts) based on academic merit, a motivation to support other students, and an interview process managed between the student support office, Head-MenTuts, and the residence / Private Student Organisation (PSO) leadership structure. ?
Subject-specific Tutoring?
Tutorials are offered based on high-risk modules as identified by individual programme representatives. Subject-specific tutoring forms part of the supplemental peer-academic support available to students in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS). Senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of the FMHS are utilised as tutors who offer 1:1 or group tutoring support on subject specific (theoretical or practical) content, to students who may find themselves in academic difficulty. Students may approach the Administrative Officer directly for a tutor, or may be referred by the Year Coordinators (staff who provide academic support in the respective programmes)??
