Basics of Tutoring in Oulu UAS Tutoring is organized by Student Union OSAKO Based on a contract made with Oulu UAS Includes: Tutor trainings, coordinating of tutor actitivies, organizing the tutor team meetings, tutoring for students with special needs and developing tutoring in general Basically: Students organize their peer tutoring themselves, as a student to another, through Student Union OSAKO! Basic Tutors, International Tutors (that’s you!), Sports Tutors, Culture Tutors and Experience-tutors (tutors who continue tutoring for more than one year)

Well-being tutoring What? Well-being tutors are former sport and culture tutors The main point is that students collect groups themselves (tutors can also collect a group) and decide which sport or culture event they want see or try. Then they call the well-being tutor and the tutor finds out where it is and what is the price of the event Then the tutor (or tutors) fills a project assistance application to OSAKO and OSAKO’s social affair person decides, how much grant would OSAKO give for the group of students. OSAKO will pay the tutor’s costs You can find OSAKO’s project assistance application here: osakoweb.fi/en -> Materials -> Project assistance OSAKO rewards active tutors

Tutoring is a part of student guidance

You are never alone Teacher tutors and guidance counselors play an important role during the whole studies and tutors can always direct students to them, if a student is in need of more professional guidance. Staff at the international services, other tutors, tutor representatives, OSAKO’s secretary of educational affairs and board members, et c… Ask help! Collaborate! Do together!

Study Ability Theory In groups of 2-3 How can a tutor support the student’s study ability? Make at least one example on every level: health and resources, study skills, study environment, teacing and guidance activities Compare the answers with another group! What is the easiest and the most effective level for a tutor to support student’s study ability? What is the most difficult level for a tutor to support student’s study ability?
