ZSKB tutor qualification
ZSKB tutor qualification
Across all departments at the University of Oldenburg, tutors support teaching and provide guidance to students, particularly during the first few semesters of their degree programme.
Through the ZSKB tutor training programme, we aim to prepare you for your role as a tutor and help you settle into your new position. As part of the training programme, you will acquire a wide range of skills to help you design tutorials that promote learning. You will reflect on your role as a student tutor and work specifically on applying what you have learnt in practice.
The tutor training programme is held twice a year.
The sessions offered for the summer semester (held in late March) are specifically aimed at students who will be leading or assisting with a subject-specific tutorial for the first time during the summer semester.
The training offered in the winter semester (held in the second half of September) is aimed at all tutors – regardless of whether they are leading a tutorial for the first time or again.
