Best preparation for prospective tutors
They provide support on an equal footing and are as attuned to the needs of students as lecturers can rarely be: student tutors or mentors. At Frankfurt UAS, they therefore play a vital role – and the demand for students willing to take on such a role is correspondingly high. To optimally prepare interested individuals for this work, a qualification program for student tutors and mentors has been created
What role do I play as a mentor? How can I support my fellow students as they begin their studies? How do I plan my tutorials in a pedagogically sound way? – prospective tutors and mentors face many questions. The Frankfurt UAS qualification program provides answers: In interactive workshops and exchange formats, students are optimally prepared for their work at the university. For example, they learn how to make a tutorial engaging and varied, or how to give constructive feedback. At the same time, they acquire valuable key skills for their future careers.
The tutor qualification program at Frankfurt UAS includes basic training at the beginning of the semester as well as semester-long advanced training courses, peer exchange formats and professional support from the program coordinator.
