Personal Tutoring at UWL 

 

The University of West London uses a structured, developmental approach to Personal Tutoring. The special relationship between Personal Tutor and students is intended to provide inclusive support, and to enable students to maximise their learning potential. Group tutorials are supplemented by a self-access Blackboard module, to provide students with personal, professional and academic development opportunities, while students can receive individual support in self- initiated 1:1 tutorials. The approach is forward looking and positive, encouraging students to be autonomous and reflective. 

 

Support for personal tutors 

  • Every personal tutor is required to attend a Personal Tutoring Workshop. These are run online monthly and participants should sign up on Eventbrite. We also run refresher sessions in September for all personal tutors to ensure all tutors have the most current information possible.  
  • A Sharepoint site is available to all UWL staff, with resources and guidance for Personal Tutors.  
  • Every school or college has at least one Lead Personal Tutor, who supports and provides guidance for personal tutors.
