Using data to enhance personal tutoring, mentoring and teamwork

Personal tutoring, mentoring, and peer teamwork are crucial for students' emotional well-being, engagement, and sense of purpose. These practices foster lasting connections and support overall academic success. However, our data analysis revealed structural racism within our personal tutoring scheme and highlighted the need for dedicated mentoring schemes for certain groups of students. Our research illustrates how data has been utilised to enhance our personal tutor scheme, introduce greater peer support, increase transparency and support teamwork. Additionally, we have implemented targeted mentoring schemes informed by data insights. We will present pre- and post-intervention results that showcase the effectiveness of our strategies in closing awarding gaps and boosting student engagement.
