Learning Support

Students come to UWC Red Cross Nordic from a wide range of academic and linguistic backgrounds. In order to promote the learning of students who are adjusting to new academic expectations, language, and the demands of managing their time in our residential setting, support is provided in a number of ways.

Learning support at our College takes place both in and out of the classroom. The learning support team comprises two specialist learning support teachers, who are also House Leaders in our Student Village, and two additional teachers who offer support in and outside of class time.

Teachers and Peer Tutors offer tutorials and individual sessions related to subject-specific learning. In addition to this, the learning support coordinator trains the peer tutor team. These students nominate themselves to provide peer support in particular subjects. The school also offers a number of regular subject-specific tutorial sessions or lab sessions with teachers.

Students count on the support of teachers and advisors, in addition to the learning support team, to discuss learning issues as they arise, with an emphasis on developing skills that will allow our students to grow as independent learners.
