Tutorial Support

As a student at City College Plymouth you will be given a personal tutor. Your tutor is likely to be one of your lecturers and will be specially trained to support you throughout your course.

Your personal tutor's role is to provide essential advice and guidance, relating to your course and to ensure that you are on track to succeed. As well as developing a professional relationship, it is likely that you'll also have a more informal and friendly relationship with your tutor. This is important as it'll help you feel able to approach him or her any time you need help or advice. In the first weeks of your course your tutor will introduce you to life at college and the facilities on offer.

Your personal tutor will:

• help you settle into College - your induction programme
• meet you regularly to discuss your progress
• set targets with you to help you achieve your aims
• advise you about enrichment activities
• ensure you have the support you need to succeed in your studies.

If you are on a full-time course you will also join a weekly tutorial group. Throughout the year the group will look at broader topics that tie in with your course, such as career opportunities and the local labour market.
