roger.morris@kcl.ac.ukSenior Tutor
Personal Tutor System
• You are each assigned a personal tutor who will see you twice in the first semester, once in the second, and again in later years (and will writ you a reference, so keep in contact).
• These meetings are to help you adjust to living and studying at university.
• You are an adult, you make your decisions, you take responsibility for them.
• We provide a guidance along the way, should you want it.
• These are not academic tutorials.
• If you are having doubts within the first two weeks of term about whether this is the course for you, arrange to see me immediately.
