International Tutors

There are about 1000 exchange students arriving to Aalto each year and more than 2000 foreign degree students studying at Aalto University. Their first contacts in Finland are the tutors. International students require tutoring especially in the beginning of their stay in the country, and not only with study matters, but also with issues relating to day-to-day life in Finland. Want to become a tutor for international students? Contact the student association in your school (your guild, KY or TOKYO) or ask us for more information.
