Inclusive tutoring

A resource to help tutors create an inclusive environment in their tutorials.

Inclusive tutoring creates a classroom environment where students from a diverse range of backgrounds can learn.

Inclusivity creates a safe and respectful environment

Victoria University of Wellington's Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Framework outlines the University’s commitment to meeting the needs of the diverse members of our community.

At Wellington School of Business and Government, we honour this framework by creating a safe and respectful environment for all students and staff. As tutors, we are often face-to-face with students, so we have a great opportunity to facilitate inclusivity for our students. We can ensure our students feel respected and valued—which will help them to engage well and succeed.
