Step by Step is a peer-to-peer tutoring programme, created by students for students, with the mission of promoting academic success, inclusion, and the reduction of student drop-out.
Through a network-based platform, the student community is consulted in order to identify potential needs and challenges, and is supported by tutors who provide assistance in specific academic and socio-emotional areas.
Why Become a Tutor?
The Tutor plays a fundamental role in the success of the programme. They are responsible for supporting and guiding their peers in building a successful academic and personal pathway.
Being a Tutor involves assuming responsibility and showing empathy towards others, as well as providing feedback to the programme’s management team regarding the tutoring process.
As a student Tutor, you will also have access to free training, allowing you to develop transferable skills that are valuable across the University of Coimbra.
