FAQs about Our Tutors

How are tutors selected for Atlas Summer Courses?

We hand-select each tutor through a rigorous process that looks beyond academic credentials. While most have studied or taught at leading universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, what truly sets them apart is their ability to inspire curiosity and confidence in every student they teach.

We assess their subject expertise, teaching style, and approach to student engagement — ensuring they can adapt lessons, lead discussions, and create inclusive spaces for learning. Only those who demonstrate a genuine passion for mentoring and motivating young people join our team.

What training do tutors receive before teaching?

Before each summer, every tutor completes extensive training focused on teaching excellence, safeguarding, and wellbeing. They learn how to balance structure with flexibility — delivering lessons that are both academically rigorous and responsive to student interests.

This preparation is supported by ongoing feedback and guidance throughout the programme. Tutors work closely with our Academic Team and Study Leaders to refine their approach, making sure every student feels supported, safe, and inspired to explore their ideas with confidence.

How do tutors adapt their teaching to different students?

Our tutors understand that every student learns differently. Small class sizes allow them to get to know each individual’s strengths, challenges, and interests — and to shape lessons around what engages and motivates them most.

Through one-to-one tutorials and group discussions, tutors adjust their style to meet each student’s needs, offering guidance that’s both personal and empowering. This flexible, student-centred approach ensures that every learner — no matter their background or ability — feels challenged, valued, and heard.

What can I expect from the tutor–student relationship?

The connection between tutor and student is at the heart of Atlas Summer Courses. Tutors don't lecture from the front — they sit alongside you, guiding conversations, asking questions, and encouraging you to find your own perspective. Learning becomes a shared exploration rather than a one-way exchange.

Many students describe this as a transformative part of their experience. Tutors act as mentors who not only teach their subjects but also help students develop critical thinking, confidence, and a sense of independence that lasts long after the summer ends.
