  • give advice to students on topics related to studies and other issues;
  • help students become familiarised with their rights and duties;
  • help students become familiarised with the procedures and rules of the school, University and of the Student Council at the school, and of other organised forms of students' activity;
  • provide students with all the information needed and encourage them to search for the information themselves;
  • encourages students to participate in extracurricular activities of the school and University;
  • have a positive attitude to the tutoring system;
  • have a positive attitude to other cultures and understands and accepts the customs and values of others;
  • be able to see the problems from the perspective of others, be able to set the limits in communication while performing the role of a tutor;
  • be able to communicate in a foreign language.

If the student faces a situation in which the tutor is unable to offer adequate assistance, the tutor suggests to the student a relevant professional service which can provide answers to the student's questions.

A tutor:

  • does not search for the information instead of the student;
  • does not provide tips on how to cheat at examinations;
  • does not make comments or gossip about professors, the grading system, the teaching method or study obligations;
  • does not write seminar papers and reports or make notes etc. instead of the student;
  • does not provide the student with notes, seminar papers, reports etc.
