All members of our online programmes are assigned to a personal tutor, whose group contains a maximum of 12 students. Personal tutors are key to ensuring our students are supported and our students’ academic progress meets expectations. At every half-term and end of term, our students will receive progress grades and a written report assessing their effort and attainment. The attainment grades are not examination predictions but give an indication of how well they have performed in that period when judged against the examination standard.
Our academic tutors will use all this information to give praise where relevant or to suggest strategies for improvement. When learning online, it is critically important to establish good study skills and personal time management. Our academic tutors and welfare team will specifically support this development in our students.
