Personal Tutoring & Support landing page
The Personal Tutoring & Support landing page, which is part of the NU Reflect system, is available in Canvas and provides the tools to support managing the tutoring process at Newcastle University. This includes options to communicate with your tutees, the ability to quickly set up and record meetings, and links to a wide range of specialist services and support upon which students can call, such as the Student Health and Wellbeing Service and the Academic Skills Team.
Personal Tutoring resources
To support the tutoring process, resources have been recommended by Personal and Senior Tutors at the university. They are either based on their own practice, or taken from other universities, and include self-assessment analyses which can be used to stimulate group and individual discussions.
There is also a timeline of topics which could be discussed across the student journey, from a first meeting with tutees in Stage One, to final year tutorials. These, and our guidance on inclusive one to one tutorials and inclusive group tutorials, are provided as a starting point. They can be found on the Resources and Training page of the Learning & Teaching @ Newcastle site.
Meetings can be created by colleagues with any student, allowing meetings to take place in various contexts, such as Personal Tutor meetings or group meetings for undergraduate projects.
Groups and Communities can be created with the purpose of effectively sharing, organising, and communicating with others.
