Produktbeschreibung

This innovative book offers a creative overview of personal tutoring and academic advising in higher education. It responds to the growing need for student support that is more inclusive, supportive, and focused on the whole student, rather than just their academic progress.

Offering a fresh perspective on how personal tutoring can be transformed from a routine academic exercise into an impactful experience, the chapters encourage readers to reimagine the role of a tutor and adopt a student-centred approach that respects individuality and promotes growth. Divided into three key sections, the first section explores new ways of working with students, including coaching, group advising, and reverse mentoring. These approaches help build stronger relationships and support both academic and personal growth. The second section shares fun and creative activities - like scavenger hunts, meme-making, and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® - that help students reduce stress, feel more connected and engaged, and build confidence. The final section shows how personal tutoring can be part of the wider curriculum, with ideas such as using mindfulness, mentoring schemes, and early support for students who may be struggling or need additional guidance.

With its blend of theory and practice, this book is an essential resource for anyone committed to making a lasting impact through education. Whether you are a seasoned tutor seeking to enhance your practice or a newcomer eager to make a difference, this book will equip you with the tools to foster meaningful connections, inspire critical thinking, and nurture lifelong learners.
