Their mentors will be experienced teachers who have developed their competences in the previous editions of the "Masters of didactics" program. Recruitment for personalized long-term tutoring will start at the beginning of the winter semester of the 2021/22 academic year.
Project objective:
The aim of the project is to implement into university practice leading classes with eminently talented students of the Lodz University of Technology using the tutoring method.

Academic tutoring as an innovative method of developing creativity and independent thinking consists of supporting activities the student in creating forward-looking plans, based on interests and talents. Tutoring gives students the opportunity to engage in the experience of peer tutoring on the way of realizing their own tutoring path.
