Become a tutor

Every year we need new volunteers to become a tutor. Everyone who studies in Oulu UAS can apply in tutor training. Tutor recruiting is held every year in February-March. New tutors are trained in April and after the training tutors sign in a tutor contract.

Tutors work term is one academic year. In return tutors can apply for credits. Tutors also get a tutor t-shirt and tutor badge, which are a sign for new students. OSAKO arranges a Christmas party and a picnic for tutors in the ends of academic terms.

You can find the guides for tutors in Materials.
