Tutorial assistance

Accommodation Services run a tutorial program between March and October. Residents may benefit from the skills of a tutor who has recently finished the requested subjects and earned a distinction or better. Most of our tutors are residents or other UTAS students and offer close, convenient and invaluable one-hour weekly tutorials.  These may be related either to a specific subject, or to general skills such as essay writing, exam preparation and time management.

Tutorial assistance may take the form of:

• one-on-one assistance
• group tutorial led by a tutor
• a study group of your peers, or
• a UTAS run program.

Those who receive extra tutorial assistance have been proven to perform better in their studies. So take advantage of this service and increase your chances.

Tutorial request

You can find tutorial request forms in a cubby hole on the bottom row of mailboxes in the administration foyer. Fill one in and hand it over to administration staff for tutorial options and further information. Alternatively complete our online request form and we will get in touch to assist with your request.
