Personal Tutoring Review

The Personal Tutoring Review looked at how personal tutoring can best support you by:

• Clarifying what personal tutoring is for
• Ensuring students receive consistent, high-quality support
• Strengthening the academic focus of personal tutoring
• Making sure students are supported as individuals

Shaped by your voice

This review was shaped by extensive consultation with students and staff across the University, including surveys, forums, Students’ Union engagement, and departmental discussions. Student feedback played a central role in identifying what works well and where clearer expectations were needed. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your feedback.

As a result of this feedback, the review has set out clearer, University-wide principles and minimum expectations for personal tutoring, while recognising that different departments may deliver personal tutoring in different ways.

What does this mean for you?

These changes are designed to ensure that every student, at every level of study, can expect:

• To meet your personal tutor regularly, including on a one-to-one basis
• For your tutor to ask about your academic progress
• Support with accessing professional services if you need them
• Space to talk about your course, assessments, feedback, and academic development
• To be supported as an individual with the opportunity to reach your full potential
• Brief, non-confidential records of meetings to be recorded on the appropriate platform (normally Tabula or my.WBS).
