• Private tutoring: You should be aware of the issue of private tutoring, whether for students in residential colleges or outside colleges. Some schools provide guidance on this topic, stating that it is not considered appropriate for a tutor in a course to provide additional private tutoring (paid or unpaid) to students within the same course, whether or not the students are in the tutor’s group. [Students finding the tutorials or consultation times inadequate for their needs, can seek additional private tutoring, but not by a tutor in the same course.]
