BECOME A TUTOR FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN THE SPRING SEMESTER

Application period is open 1.-15. October
Get yourself valuable multicultural work experience by becoming an international tutor! The main purpose of tutoring is to help foreign students settle into a new country, city and university. Most of the tutor duties take place in the beginning of the semester but usually students turn to their tutor also later on when encountering problems. The selection is based on the international experience and motivation of the applicants. Some of the new applicants will be invited for an interview. The selected tutors are required to attend a 1,5-day-long tutor training. Tutors get a small reward as well as 2 ECTS for their work.

Do you have any questions? Please ask the Specialist in International Affairs, Agnes Stojcsics | kv-asiantuntija@jyy.fi Further information: https://opiskelu.jyu.fi and application form: https://opiskelu.jyu.fi/en/study/be-part-of-our-community/become-a-student-tutor-for-new-international-studentsi/en/study/be-part-of-our-community/become-a-student-tutor-for-new-international-students
