Tutor Testimonials:
Working with TU is a great experience! But don’t just take our word for it, hear from some of our current / previous tutors:
- “I love the fact that everyone on the team is really supportive and understanding and ensuring that the tutors are not pressured is one of their key priorities. From the first day, I have felt a sense of comfort and reassurance and the team and leaders ensure that you have everything needed for the lesson” - Hetal (2nd Year BA History Student)
- “My time management has improved vastly, so much so that in fact I’ve managed to find more time to engage in other activities such as sports and societies. In addition to this, my communication and relationship-building skills have progressed, essential if I want to succeed in any chosen career”- Tarun (2nd year Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering Student)
- “Seeing students grasp new concepts, overcome challenges, and gain confidence in their abilities brings me immense joy and satisfaction. Witnessing the "aha" moments when they understand a difficult concept or successfully apply their knowledge is incredibly rewarding, knowing I have been able to help” - Jayden (1st year BSc Computer Science student)
