Personal Tutor Scheme

Overview 

Each School is required to put in place a structured scheme for the coordination of Personal Tutoring. The scheme will normally be coordinated by a Lead Personal Tutor, with administrative support offered via the School Office. A team of nominated academic staff, or Personal Tutors, will deliver the scheme each year. 

The responsibilities of a Personal Tutor are: 

  • to promote reflection upon and support for students’ general academic development while they are on their course;  
  • to promote other activities and experiences related to the personal, academic and professional development of their students;  
  • to appropriately support students through effective signposting to relevant student support services.  

Support and resources for Personal Tutors 

A new and updated Personal Tutor Guide 2020-21 is available here.

The new Personal Tutor toolkit (includes video introductions and presentations from Student Services) is available here. 

New Canvas content to enable the delivery of School schemes online can be accessed via Canvas Commons.
