AAO Tutors are experienced sophomore and junior students of different majors helping freshmen engage their active learning and develop critical thinking skills.
Tutors help students learn how to learn and find answers on their own. They also provide assistance with skills outside the course content to teach note-taking skills, reading strategies, and writing tips.
AAO Tutors hold meetings one-to-one and in a group with students to teach the academic content on CHEM101, CHEM102, PHYS161, PHYS162, ECON101, ECON102, CSCI151, CSCI152, MATH161, and MATH162 courses.
- AppointmentsEach tutor for each class holds regular office hours during the week for students to sign up for the meeting and attend it to discuss course-related questions.
- Online SupportAnswering questions in the course Telegram chats.
- Exam PreparationLeading the midterm/final exam preparation sessions throughout the semester to share course content, conduct mock tests and discuss course-related questions taken from past tests and examinations.
Students make a request on AAO website (aao.nu.edu.kz) to have a meeting with AAO Tutors.
In the form, students must indicate: Name, Email, Reason for visit, & Preferred date and time.
As we receive the student request, SSF Communication Manager will appoint the AAO Tutor to lead the meeting & date, matching the student request and Tutor experience and competency.

At the end of the session, students will be invited to fill in the Student Feedback Google Form to share their experience of a session and leave comments or suggestions to improve the sessions.
