Peer tutors

At the start of the studies, peer tutors play a big role in grouping the students. Peer tutors act as real support and security for the freshers during their first school year.

Exchange tutors

Exchange tutors are the heroes of foreign exchange students. The tutors keep in touch with the incoming exchangers even before they come to Finland and are their support and security throughout the exchange. The heroes make sure the exchange students  feel comfortable and welcome.
