Guidance & Tutor Support
At Hopwood Hall College we ensure our students achieve the best possible results by supporting them in every way we can.
Tutor support
If your son or daughter is on a full-time course they will be allocated a personal tutor who will:
- Give information, advice and support to ensure that the student makes progress with their studies
- Contact you should they have any serious concerns about their progress
- Meet individually with your son or daughter at least three times a year to review progress
- Produce an action plan with the student for development. This will be recorded in the student’s “passport to success” and we encourage you to share this with your son or daughter
