Kersti the Tutor

As we are resident tutors at Ormond, Kersti and I both run weekly tutorials for the students, who are mostly first-year undergraduates. The tutorials are for the courses they are taking at Uni, so we go over their course material and assignments and try to help. Kersti has been giving tutorials in the environmental and the interdisciplinary subjects, including the class "An Ecological History of Humanity", which required her to know everything about the history of humanity. I have been tutoring courses in Logic, Physics, and Engineering. Attendance by the students is not mandatory, but turnout is usually pretty good and the students generally seem pretty motivated.


Here is Kersti passing on her knowledge to Jonathon, one of her tutorial students.



Kersti is demonstrating her listening skills, an important tutor characteristic...
