Tutorial Support

Personal Tutors

Each student will be allocated a personal tutor at the start of their course, usually a member of the core staff associated with the delivery of the course scheme. The role of the personal tutor will be to advise and support students in the development of their individual learning strategies and programmes. Personal tutors will also provide a focus for the non-academic care and support of the student. It may, however, be the wish of the student or tutor that such assistance is sought elsewhere. At Writtle, additional support and counselling is available from the College Counsellors.

Tutorial Sessions

You will be entitled to a one-to-one tutorial session each semester as well as group Course and Subject tutorials throughout your study; details of the types of tutorial support available can be found in the Student Handbook for Higher Education. Usually a timetable of formal tutorial sessions will be posted on your course scheme notice board. This appointment system is the normal approach although if the matter is urgent every effort will be made to see you as quickly as possible.

Tutorial Record Sheets

Will be completed by you and your tutor during a one-to-one tutorial session so that you both have a record of what has been discussed: this form can also be used to demonstrate your personal development progress where appropriate.

Careers Advice

All students are entitled to have a Careers session as part of your tutorial programme - contact your Course Manager or careers@writtle.ac.uk to arrange this.  Visit the Careers Advisory Service (located in the Learner Services corridor in the Main College Building) early and often, and look at the College Careers website
