Personal Tutor
Your Main Contact
The role of a personal tutor is seen as crucial at West Suffolk College. The personal tutor will be allocated during the first week of the course (the 'induction' period) and will be a stable point of contact throughout the learners' time at college.
The personal tutor will be the main point of contact for parents or guardians when communicating with the College.
You will have a chance to meet the personal tutor at the parents' induction evening - held at the start of the course.
The personal tutor is responsible for the tracking of academic progress, and providing pastoral support when needed. The personal tutor will help the student understand the support available in College, including careers and welfare advice.
Learners will have tutorial appointments at regular intervals to allow structured discussion and target setting. Learners are encouraged to make additional appointments as and when they need them, to discuss issues as they arise.
How to make Contact
Please feel free to contact the personal tutor at anytime. Details of the tutor can be found in the Parents' Handbook.
