Looking for a tutor

• Are you experiencing some difficulties with a specific course and are you in search for some extra guidance?
• Do you need a fellow student who can help you with your studying?
• Are you writing a paper but you can use some writtingtips or someone who reads your text?

Request the help of a tutor!  Study Guidance offers you different kinds of tutors! Apply in time and your tutor will contact you as soon as possible.

Study Guidance tutors

SG tutors are students carefully selected on the basis of their study results or after the involved professors and assistants suggested their names. The guidance by tutors has to be payed, with a maximum of 15 euros per hour. If you’re having financial difficulties and this is an obstacle to make use of tutoring? In that case you can contact our colleagues from Social legal & financial support.

Honours program tutoring

Honours program tutors are selected through excellence programs from the faculty of PE and ES. Honour tutors choose to consciously incorporate tutoring within their own excellence program (and this is according to the sustainable humanistic vision of the VUB). They can also tutor VUB students from now on. This guidance is free of charge, but the number of available tutors is limited.

Become a tutor and earn some money

• Are you looking for a challenging student job that makes a difference and gives you satisfaction?
• Have you built up expertise in one or more of your courses?
• Or do you have a talent for languages and do you like to read papers?

Then we can use your help! Become a tutor and apply! Need help with your application? Check this manual! Once registered, you will receive an invitation from Study Guidance VUB for a mandatory interview. Attention: by submitting your candidacy, you agree that we may review your study results.

Tutoring may be a student job as a domestic servant. More information about this this statute and the regulations >>>.

For whom?

All VUB- and ULB-students with a VUB e-mail address can make reservations, but the study places are mainly meant for:

• Students who do not have a quiet study place available at home
• Students who need a place on campus due to socio-emotional, family, psychiatric or medical circumstances
• Students who need to combine an on-campus lesson with an online lesson and don't have enough time to go home or to their dorm.

Reservation

Reservation is necessary! You can only use a study space with a reservation. Looking for a place last minute? No problem! You can even book a place rightaway that's immediately available.

Reservations are made via the Affluences tool, available as an app on your smartphone or on your computer.

Reservation rules

• You can reserve a place from one week in advance, up to the moment of booking.
• You can only book for yourself.
• After every reservation through Affluences you will immediately receive an email in which you have to confirm your reservation within 2 hours.
• You don't need your place anymore? Cancel your reservation; cancellation is possible any time, through the confirmation e-mail.

Confirming your arrival

• Upon arrival at your reserved study place, you confirm your presence. This can be done in two ways:
  • Upon arrival, you scan the QR code that hangs in the study room
  • You open the validation page of the Affluences website on your computer and type in code VIH1
• Please note:
  • You can only confirm your presence 10 minutes before your reservation time;
  • If you do not confirm your presence, the spot you reserved will be cancelled after 20 minutes. It will then become available again for another student to reserve.

Terms of use

• You (only) use the numbered seat you reserved.
• You always wear a face mask, even when sitting down in your own space.
• You disinfect your table + chair yourself, both before and after use of your study space.
• You place your student card visibly on the table.
• Furniture must not be moved.
• You keep the study space clean (take rubbish with you or put it in a bin).
• You respect your reservation time and make sure to clear the space in time for the next student to arrive.
• You respect the opening and closing times of the location.
• You keep it quiet so everyone in the space can concentrate.
