Student services
Personal Tutor
You will have a personal tutor who will be the key person to share your successes and support you throughout your time with us. We want you to make the most of your time here.
You will meet with your personal tutor and the other members of your tutor group at scheduled times to discuss issues we hope will be relevant to life during and after you leave the centre. We also aim to build up important life skills such as study skills and interview skills. In addition you will meet regularly with your tutor for discussions about your progress.
