Peer Tutoring Service

The peer tutoring service is provided by senior students with knowledge and experience of the university
environment.

UniCamillus promotes peer tutoring by encouraging students to work together to create opportunities for
peer contact during their university career.

The aim is to create relational spaces between students to facilitate their integration into the university
environment, to contribute to a good start to their studies and to prevent dropout.
The students involved are selected through an annual collaboration grant and are specifically trained to
provide initial orientation support to first-year students and to lead cooperative study and peer tutoring
groups.

The peer tutors will therefore accompany the students on their way through the university with group or
individual meetings focusing on: planning exams, organising studies, sharing content in agreement with the
teaching staff; collaborating on orientation initiatives.

Students who wish to benefit from peer tutoring can make an appointment by sending an email.

Hi everyone!

I’m Sara Cavallaro, and I’m excited to be one of your peer tutors. I come from Naples, a city in southern Italy, and I have a scientific high school degree, so I’m naturally more inclined towards these subjects. I know that some subjects can be challenging, but a helping hand never hurts! If you have any doubts about particular topics I’ll do my best to clarify them. And if I can’t, I’m confident that together with my colleagues we can find a solution.

“Whenever the art of medicine is loved, there is also love for humanity.”
This quote of Hippocrates has always resonated with me throughout my medical studies.
It reminds me that medicine is not just about knowledge, but about caring for people and that includes helping those around me.

I’m Jennifer and as I approached my final year of university, I realized how much I had learned not just from lecture and textbooks, but also from the support of my peers.
For this reason, decided to become a peer tutor for the students in the years below me. 
I would love to to offer the guidance and support I wish I had back then.
