Study Methodology and Tutoring

I’m a Newly Enrolled Student… Now What?

University of Palermo’s Guidance and Tutoring Centre provides a series of services for newly enrolled students in order to:

facilitate the transition from high school to university;
promote the learning process by helping students acquire a personalized study method;
address any obstacles that prevent students from succeeding on university exams.

What tutoring services are offered by UniPa?

Personalized Study Methodology Consultation

This service is for all university students, including those who are behind on exams, aren’t taking exams, are working students, or are new freshmen. It is designed to help those who are experiencing significant distress due to slow learning or exam failures caused by an inadequate study method.

The program includes individual meetings led by a study methodology expert. These meetings can be held in-person or online, with a prior reservation.

Academic Tutoring

Academic tutors are students enrolled in master degrees, research doctorates, or specialization schools at the university. They assist students in improving their understanding of specific subject matter through exercises and in-depth workshops.

This activity is conducted in support of degree programs. The sessions can be held in-person or online, with a prior reservation.

Learning Tutoring for Students with Disabilities and Neurodiversity

Learning tutors are professionals (psychologists, neuropsychologists, psychopedagogues, and support teachers) who work closely with university departments. Their role is to identify the most suitable learning strategies for students with disabilities, neurodiversity, or other difficulties even if not officially diagnosed.

They also act as a mediator between the student, the course instructor, the degree program coordinator, disability and neurodiversity delegates, and academic and peer tutors.

Meetings can be held in-person or online, with a prior reservation.

How to Use the Service:

To book a session, you need to schedule one or more meetings with the COT’s methodology experts. You can do this by calling 091.23865515 or emailing tutorato.cot@unipa.it.
