Personal Tutoring
Guidance Support Tutors
On entry into College you are allocated a Guidance Support Tutor, who you meet twice a week on a regular timetabled basis. Your Guidance Support Tutor is your main point of contact with the College and has overall responsibility for your welfare; it is important to develop a good working relationship with your tutor. If you are having problems or need advice your Guidance Support Tutor is usually the first person you would consult.
In particular he/she has responsibility for:
-
Helping you settle into College
-
Overseeing and supporting your progress and your ILP (individual Learning Plan) including monitoring your attendance (you are registered electronically in every lesson)
-
Responding to queries about you from your subject teachers
-
Liaising with your parents where needed
-
Delivering the tutorial programme
-
Helping you plan your career progression for employment or university
-
Writing your reference for employment or university
-
Informing you of routine administration, such as exam procedures
Regular tutorials are arranged as full group activities and you should develop a sense of belonging to the group. Individual reviews are also arranged, so your Guidance Support Tutor can also discuss and plan your progress.
