Study Buddy Program

The study buddy program is designed to provide free one -on -one /small group tutoring services to students who need immediate assistance to gain a deeper understanding of the course material or assignments currently being discussed in class.

A study buddy maybe a senior from another semester or a peer who will help you to clarify difficulties, explain concepts, share relevant materials and in some cases valuable study skills and habits with you; this improves your performance and overall confidence.

In order to maximise your benefit from the Study Buddy you must review your work in advance of meeting your study buddy.

The study buddy obtains an opportunity to mentor other students, build on individual training skills, and sharpen one’s own knowledge besides generating valuable amounts of goodwill.

Certificates and reference letters are issued to the study buddy on verification of efforts.

Study groups will be conducted at fixed times which will provide students with an opportunity to meet their instructor in a group setting to obtain clarifications or further guidance on assignments, projects, difficult concepts.
