Every period, Vectum organises extra tutorials for mathematical subjects in the first and second year of the Bachelors's. If you feel like you're having trouble understanding these courses, or you want some more explanation on the topics, then it might be wise to make use of the extra tutorials.

The tutorials are given by students who have mastered those courses and who have proven to be good teachers. They will take place once a week, and each tutorial lasts 2h. The tutorial groups will be made as small as possible to ensure the tutors will really be able to help you.

Tutor information

As a tutor, you would be guiding groups of 4-5 students through the academic process of a quantitative course. Each group of students would follow a 2h tutorial per week, usually starting from week 4 to week 7. You can choose how many tutorials per week you would be willing to give. The hourly rate for the tutorials is €25 with the possibility of a bonus. In the sign-up sheet, you can indicate whether and for which course(s) you would be willing to potentially update the booklet used for training. In the rare event that a booklet needs to be updated, the work put into that will be discussed separately and paid additionally based on the hours spent on the job.

Generally speaking, for you to become an extra-tutor for a certain subject, we require you to have a final grade of 8 or higher for the said subject, although exceptions can be made, depending on your grades for related courses.
