Personalized education

Personalized education at SGGW places you at the center of the learning process — it recognizes your potential and adapts teaching to your individual needs, interests and goals. The tutor–mentee (master–student) relationship requires time, trust and commitment from both parties.

Tutoring

Tutoring provides systematic support and development under the care of a Tutor; it is more than simple consultations and aims to support intellectual and personal growth. At SGGW two types of tutoring are distinguished:

Academic tutoring – focused on developing academic competencies, deepening knowledge, participating in research and scientific projects, and building an academic development path.
Developmental tutoring – aimed at achieving personal development goals, strengthening interpersonal and communication skills, decision-making abilities and career planning.

Mentoring

Mentoring is intended for those who already have some experience and knowledge and want to accelerate their development through practical guidance and the support of a more experienced person. The relationship with a mentor is based on mutual trust and acceptance; the mentor acts as a guide and advisor in pursuing a defined goal.

Areas of support in the mentoring program may include, among others: publications and research, methodology, the academic and business environment, grants, university administration, ideas and projects, communication and presentation, and teaching.

Benefits

Individual development planning tailored to your needs;
Opportunities to deepen knowledge and gain practical skills;
Support in scientific work, projects and publications (within academic tutoring and mentoring);
Development of soft skills: communication, self-confidence, independence and responsibility for choices;
Practical guidance that accelerates achievement of professional and academic goals.

Who can benefit?

Students and doctoral candidates of the SGGW Doctoral School may apply to the tutoring and mentoring programs. The final decision to begin cooperation is made by the Tutor or Mentor.

Note: the tutoring process may, with the consent of the relevant Vice-Dean, be recognized as an elective course.
