Student Ambassador Program
Our school has a formal student mentoring program. Aside from outside office hours of the instructors, we have culinary students that wear blue neckerchiefs that students can easily locate and set up tutoring when the need arises.
We have a student ambassador program on our campus that after the first month new students can join. I have found it to be very positive for not only the new students but all students. They serve as campus leaders and very active mentors. New students feel they have peers that they can connect with who understand better their personal challenges.
I agree. we have student ambassadors as well that mentor as well as tutor and this is a valuable service to the students
We also have a student ambassador program where students tutor,as well as help for community events or chef series classes. They also have knife skills tutoring classes as well
Our institution offers formal in-classroom tutoring 3 days a week. Many of our skills are technical in nature and some of the learning styles we encounter do not learn best in the typical classroom. I have adopted a personal policy of doing much of the tutoring in lab, with hands on information that helps the student with the testing part of the program, but also the actual learning and job skill retention. Feedback from the students has been very positive and recently, many have been asking for this lab/hands-on style of tutoring.
