Tutors and buddies

UP tutors provide comprehensive support to students during their studies, from their very first day of class until graduation. Tutors will not only help you integrate into the study environment and student life but will also motivate you and encourage you to reach your fullest potential. UP tutors are passionate and highly motivated, and will help you create an atmosphere of collaboration and support with your teachers to increase your academic and personal success.

Student tutors offer support in your studies and extracurricular activities. We inform tutees about their rights and duties during their studies and introduce them to all the services at their faculty and at UP which are responsible for resolving student-related issues. We also organise introductory and social meetings, help foreign students solve administrative problems and special attention to students with the status of students with special needs.

The coordinator of student tutors at UP level is Alja Polanec.

Teacher tutors advise mostly individually. We help students with their studies with the aim of improving their academic achievements in individual fields of study, advise on the choice of elective courses and answer questions about progression to a higher year, completion of studies, and the choice of supervisor for their final thesis. In particular, teacher tutors are available to students with the status of students with special needs and together we create an individualised study plan for them.
