Tutors
The College has a large number of tutors, both resident in the College and non-resident. These tutors are outstanding university graduates at various stages of their academic or professional careers. Some are undertaking post-graduate study in the University of Melbourne. Some teach in the University as well as in the College. Some are active practitioners of their chosen professions. Between them, our tutors have lived and worked in well over a dozen university colleges in Melbourne and elsewhere; they bring a range of expertise and experience to their roles at Trinity. Starting in the second week of each semester, tutors give weekly tutorials in their subjects. Resident tutors also act as mentors to students – that is, as one-to-one advisors on academic and pastoral matters – and as floor tutors for the students in the corridor on which they live.
