Tutoring
The experience of the tutors at Lodz University of Technology allowed the development of a model of tutoring at Lodz University of Technology, practiced in three parts:
Pastoral tutoring
provides support especially to newcomers to the university, but not only; it assists them in adapting to the university, becoming an active, integrated member of the academic community, maintaining or increasing well-being and developing non-academic interests. In the 2022/2023 academic year at Lodz University of Technology, IFE students (first year, first degree) were tutored. In the following years, we will expand to other faculties.i.
Tutoring for talented
provides the opportunity to benefit from a professional path of academic and professional development under the guidance of an academic supervisor who supports the student in his work and facilitates the expansion of his knowledge; includes the implementation of an Individual Study Program
Peer tutoring
takes advantage of the scientific and research potential of our University's students and aims to emphasize student cooperation; it is also a teaching strategy in which students provide assistance to their peers or lower-year students with learning difficulties.
