Personal tutoring is arguably central to influencing student retention, progression and employability, metrics associated with the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). Despite this, according to institutional research, practitioners undertaking this crucial role request support, development and role clarification. Additionally, widening access in UK HE, and the resulting diversity of student needs, have created the demand for individualised support and posed real challenges in delivering this effectively. Drawing on our 2018 book and 2022 collection of case studies from across the sector, we will explore what has worked in personal tutoring in the recent past and where it is at now, before asking you to consider which aspects to take into the future and which to leave behind. We will look at how personal tutoring ‘fits in’ with teaching, promoting a holistic institutional approach and what difference it can really make.
The aims of the session are to:
Identify and apply the key concepts of effective personal tutoring;
Clarify the personal tutoring role and position it with teaching;
Recognise the benefits of effective personal tutoring to both students and staff.
