It's based on the interaction between students - information, skills and experiences. The aim is to reach common goals: expertise, graduating and team spirit. A peer tutor is equal to the student and often easier to approach than the staff of the school would be.Student Union POKA recruits and trains the tutors and is in charge of developing tutoring in NKUAS. The student union POKA is always there for the tutors by giving its support and advice when needed. Among the staff of UAS the most important collaborators for the tutors are the student counselors and the teacher tutors. Other collaborators are the other peer tutors, the nurse, the student pastor, lecturers and training and development coordinators and so on. A tutor guidebook is peer tutor's adviser. You can read, save or print the guide from HERE >> Ethical rules for tutoring made by tutors: 1. Don't abuse your tutorees financially, physically or mentally, 2.
