Manaaki Ākonga – Mentoring and Peer Tutoring
We understand that some students may learn the best from another student and have two support programmes available that connect experienced students with those who may benefit from a helping hand. Our teaching staff has recommended our tuākana and peer tutors as showing all the key attributes to support other students coming through.
What is in it for you?
- Out of class support
- Focused support
- Tutoring from a current student who knows your programme
Tuākana-Tēina
Tuākana-Tēina is an inclusive model of support based around the sharing of experiences, knowledge, and information through connected relationships, respect, and care for learners.
Tuākana are experienced Wintec learners who facilitate regular study groups within their programme of study. They understand the struggles and rewards of student life for those navigating their first year of study and are committed to helping make your journey as smooth as possible. Tēina are learners studying with us for the first time.
