TEACHING WHAT IS A TUTORIAL?

In spite of a wide variety of tutors’ approaches to tutorials, there are common elements which contribute to this uniqueness, and these include: Students meeting individually or in very small groups, with a tutor from their discipline in their college, typically once a week or once a fortnight.” OXFORD LEARNING INSTITUTE

“

"I think the teaching speaks for itself, looking at the grades which are achieved by the students. I studied Biology, Chemistry and Maths and I must say the teaching was absolutely

excellent. In each subject, I

was taught a lot more than in my previous school.”
