Student Tutor
The student tutor is an experienced student or doctoral or postgraduate student who puts his or her practical experience at the service of those in need.
"The tutoring services cooperate with the bodies supporting the right to study and with student representatives, contributing to the overall cultural training needs of students and their full participation in university activities." (Art. 13 Law 341/1990)
Peer-to-peer Tutors
Tutoring activities are also carried out with the participation of "able and deserving students enrolled on specialist degree courses, specialization schools for the forensic professions, specialization schools for secondary school teachers and PhD programmes" in accordance with the provisions of the law and through the issuing of specific calls for applications (Art. 1 of Decree Law no. 105 of 9 May 2003 - Urgent provisions for universities and research bodies, converted with amendments into Law no. 170 of 11 July 2003).
The peer-to-peer tutor carries out listening, information and coaching activities for first-year students in order to address any obstacles to regular study.
