For tutors

Tutor trainings

Please note that all tutors are expected to take part in the tutor trainings. Training material is shared on the tutoring Moodle areas. If you haven’t been able to access the Moodle areas, contact us via email at tuutorointi@trey.fi. Additional information about the trainings will be delivered to tutors closer to the training dates. All trainings held for the same target group have the same content, and it is enough to partake in one of the trainings.

Email lists for tutors

TREY has six email lists for tutors (national tutor organisers, international tutor organisers, national degree tutors, international degree tutors, spring semester exchange tutors, and fall semester exchange tutors). As a rule, all tutors are on the appropriate lists, coordinated by TREY. If you do not receive messages from the list you should be on, please contact tuutorointi@trey.fi.

Tutoring guidebooks

TREY and the university use Tutor’s Guides created by the Kupla project.

Tutor organisers

A tutor organiser is a person in a student association or a guild, whose task is to coordinate, plan and execute student tutoring in their association. Organisers have the opportunity to do their work as a part of the tutor organisers’ course. The course can be completed only once during your studies.

The most important communication channels for tutor organisers are the mailing lists and Hovi telegram group. You can join the international tutor organisers’ list and Hovi by contacting TREY’s tutoring sector. If you are on the list and wish to unsubscribe, you can also reach out to TREY’s tutoring sector.

TREY will remain in close contact with subject associations throughout the academic year. For students working with student tutoring in their associations, this cooperation happens through Hovi (“The House of Tutor”). All people responsible for either national or international student tutoring are asked to join Hovi. The group has a Telegram chat group (Hovi 2025) to facilitate discussion and conveying information. Hovi will communicate bilingually throughout the year.

Tutor organisers of 2026 will be given a training by the university and TREY in January 2026. Participating in the training session is mandatory for tutor organisers, as the training material includes information on data protection affairs that are required through the sub-processing contract in tutoring. If a tutor organiser is unable to make the training session, they are expected to go through the material on their own to fulfill the contract’s requirements.
