Tutoring
Karelia UAS tutoring is organised by POKA. POKA recruits and trains about 80 tutors annually and coordinates tutor activities. In addition, together with Karelia, we train VIP (VIP activities means atmosphere of caring) students from each starting group. Get involved in a fun and useful activity – you also get credits for being a tutor!
Peer tutoring / Degree tutoring
Peer tutors provide peer support for new students in their field. Peer tutors support new students in their early stages of their studies and organise activities that help them to bond and build a sense of community. Peer tutors also introduce Karelia and their field of study to potential future students and act as guides during selection tests. The peer tutors are supported by the POKA tutor division, which consists of students who have served as tutors.
New tutors are recruited each year in February. Stay tuned and apply! For more information about the activities, please contact [email protected] or contact your tutor or teacher.
Exchange tutoring
Exchange tutors act as guides and support persons for exchange students arriving in Karelia. The tutors help with practical matters and organise fun social activities for exchange students. Tutors work in English and tutor exchange students from all fields.
New tutors are recruited twice a year. Stay tuned and apply! For more information, please contact: [email protected].
VIP – Atmosphere of caring activities / Group trustee activities
VIP – atmosphere of caring or group trustee acitivity is a model that creates a sense of community and a caring atmosphere in POKA and Karelia.
