Peer Assisted Learning and Mentorship: 

All first years are encouraged to make full use of the Student Success Mentorship Programme that is offered by TLDC. It is a programme that is designed to help first years get the assistance they need both academically and socially in the form of mentorship. Each first year student is paired off with a senior student (mentor) from the same discipline. Students meet and work with their mentors regularly in small groups to help the process of learning. First year students are exposed to essential skills that would help them improve their academic performance and ensures their success as a student at MUT. Senior students who volunteer as mentors are groomed as future leaders. Students are welcomed to find out more about the programme and how to get involved at the MSEU offices. 

Senior tutors and supplemental instructors within specific subject areas are also offered by the TLDC. These senior tutors also work with you during allocated time to better understand specific subject areas that pose challenges to your learning.  

You are also welcome to visit any of our office to speak to us directly. For the workshop and seminars, please keep watch your notice boards for information.
