Have you thought about becoming a tutor? Now is the time to apply! Application deadline is this Sunday!
Degree tutors are helping out new degree students of TAMK. They are playing an important part in integrating new students to Tampere and Finland. The training aims to train foreign students to work as degree tutors with their Finnish peer tutor colleagues. Degree tutors will meet the group once a month during the academic year 2023-2024. All the applicants will be interviewed during the autumn and the trainings will take place on the spring semester 2023. Tutors will gain new friendships and study credits: sounds like a great deal, huh?
Note that if you are Finnish student studying in English degree programme, we wish you to fill in the Vertaistuutori application.
