Further qualification for tutors
Tutors make a large and steadily increasing contribution to teaching at TUHH (approx. 1000 tutor contracts per year). They are especially indispensable in bachelor studies.
By participating in our trainings and leading courses, tutors expand their interdisciplinary competences and acquire additional qualifications relevant to the future job.
For successful participation in the training, they receive a certificate and, under certain conditions, two credit points in the non-technical offer.
We offer tailor-made qualifications for tutors of the following teaching formats as well as the short format TeachING Appetizer for all teachers:
offers
Exercises
For tutors who regularly organise exercises, e.g. in mechanics, electrical engineering or computer science.
Accompany groups
For tutors who supervise groups in the context of project work and PBL events
Promoting young academics
Tutor qualifications serve to promote young researchers in the long term, as many of the tutors become research assistants after graduation.
TUHH Tutor Statutes § 3
“(3) Teaching tutors shall receive guidance in higher education didactics at the beginning of their employment.”
Katharina Fegebank, 2nd Mayor of Hamburg and Senator for Science:
“The work of tutors cannot be overestimated! They help with the start of studies, with study crises, with exam preparation and thus make a significant contribution to making studying a success. In addition, the accompanying qualification of the ZLL is exemplary throughout Germany. The tutors receive excellent preparation and ongoing didactic support. Afterwards, they evaluate their courses together with the full-time lecturers. In this way, they also benefit themselves! Many of those who have led a tutorial later pursue a career in science. I would like to thank all students who share their knowledge and experience with younger students during their own studies! They help with the start of studies, with study crises, with exam preparation and thus make a significant contribution to successful studying. In addition: The accompanying qualification of the ZLL is exemplary nationwide. The tutors receive excellent preparation and ongoing didactic support. Afterwards, they evaluate their courses together with the full-time teachers. In this way, they also benefit themselves! Many of those who have once led a tutorial later pursue a career in science.

Teaching awards for tutors
“Tutorinnen und Tutoren sprechen oft eine Sprache, die andere Studierende gut verstehen und bieten eine Lernatmosphäre frei von Angst vor vermeintlich „dummen“ Fragen. Darüber hinaus fungieren sie als wichtiges Bindeglied zwischen den Hochschullehrenden und den Studierenden.”
(Kerstin Kuchta, Vice President Teaching)
