Student interested in participating in the Tutoring in Schools Scheme are asked to complete an application form which includes the identification of a referee. Students are then invited to attend a short informal interview, which is normally scheduled around October in the first semester and January in the second semester.

It also increases the self-confidence of many students as well as enhances their knowledge and portrayal of their own subject. From the pupil's point of view the presence of a student tutor in the classroom can stimulate greater interest in learning and often acts as a great motivating force.

The Tutoring in Schools Scheme takes place yearly - during the first and second semester of the academic year.
