Become an international tutor for new Master’s Degree Programme Students

As a tutor you’ll have an opportunity to help new international students to settle in a student life in Turku, share your experiences and learn about new cultures. You will also help the student with all kinds of practical matters upon his/her arrival.

You can become a tutor if you are currently enrolled in a degree programme at the University of Turku and want to help new international students to integrate into the student life in Finland. To become a tutor, you’ll have to participate in the training and be prepared to work with your tutoring pair (a Finnish tutor) at the beginning of the semester when the students arrive. Training will be held 27 April.

Benefits of becoming an international tutor:
Getting new friends
Improving your language skills
Learning about new cultures
Valuable work experience and a certificate
A small compensation
