Objective
During this interactive workshop delegates will engage in meaningful discussions, exchange ideas, and gain practical insights on the role of personal tutoring and academic advising in developing students’ educational gain. Delegates will explore themes shared by the three Devon providers in relation to tutoring contribution to educational gain, and outstanding student outcomes and experience:

Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences, learn from one another, and collaborate on developing systems maps for higher education tutoring, support and advising.
