WHAT IS A TUTORIAL EDUCATION?

Our tutorial approach is a pedagogy that:

• affords a student one-on-one time with a college professor

every week 

• affords a student experience with college level work without

pressure for grades

• affords tailoring of academic direction toward the student’s

interests

• builds a love for learning, since connections are constantly

being made between the student’s love for God and the
subject at hand

• encourages life-long learning

• follows the Socratic method that argues truth is discovered in

the interaction between two people rather than only through
the textbook or lecture.

The beauty of this way of study is a combination of small group

meetings and one-on-one time with your professors. 

EACH WEEK THE STUDENTS ATTEND A LECTURE

BY ONE OF THE CENTER FACULTY, MEET WITH
THEIR ASSIGNED TUTORS, AND ALSO ATTEND A
GROUP DISCUSSION TIME FOR ALL STUDENTS
AND FACULTY.

During tutorials, assignments are discussed, papers are prepared and

presented, and the tutor makes evaluations about what would be
good for that specific student to address next.  It might mean that one
student is investigating questions that the others are not.  Each
individual student is given work that touches his specific interests
within the framework of the group’s readings.
