Summary

The tutorial sessions will be conducted similarly to a university-style tutorial where the student will present their work to the tutor for feedback and suggestions. However unlike a university system where a typical tutorial session is 20-30min, having an hour will allow opportunities for questions and open discussions to help develop, strengthen and curate existing work or work from scratch to form a strong intellectual clarity and logic behind the work. The most important aspect of the 1 to 1 tutorial is that it will be conducted at the speed of the student’s requirement, which ensures all questions, unknowns and concerns are answered and given further advice in maximising each student’s capabilities.
