Colleagues sitting on a bench in conversation

Mode of delivery: Interactive workshop

Length of Session: 3 hours

Using a coaching approach to help facilitate the personal tutoring conversation.

What staff need(s) will the workshop meet?

  • How can I be more effective in my role as a PT or PAT?
  • Individual meetings with students is an important element of my role as a PT or PAT, but we never have much time. How can I make the most of the time?
  • How can I improve my skills of getting to the heart of the issues students bring to me as PT/PAT?
  • How can I make sure that my response is really appropriate to their concerns and needs? Students need to take some personal responsibility for addressing blocks and challenges within their study at university.
  • How can I quickly engage students in responding actively to issues?

Through this you will...

Take part in an informal interactive session exploring where your skills are at as a personal tutor.

By using role play we will explore how to use a coaching conversation with real life student case studies to help engage the student and get them moving forward.

By the end of the workshop you should feel more confident in your ability to act as a personal tutor.
