Interdisciplinary Tutoring Project Description
This is a unique, first-of-its-kind initiative open to all students at the University of Gdańsk (UG). It offers an opportunity to participate in tutorials from faculties beyond your own field of study.
UG tutors, who are specialists and passionate experts from various scientific disciplines, invite motivated students to take part in an 8-hour series of individual tutorials during the summer term of 2024/25.
Students and tutors who are already familiar with tutoring recognize the immense value of academic exploration tailored to students’ needs. Those who have not yet experienced it are especially encouraged to „sample” this unique form of education.
This is a rare opportunity to expand your knowledge and explore interests beyond the standard curriculum of your own course of study.
In the following sections, you will find details on recruitment and a list of tutors offering their specialized academic support.
We warmly invite you to participate in the project.
For inquiries, students can contact their Faculty’s TUTORING COORDINATORS, listed here: https://cddit.ug.edu.pl/rekrutacja-na-tutoring/

„You cannot teach a person anything; you can only help them find it within themselves.”
— Galileo Galilei
This quote perfectly encapsulates my approach to tutoring. Tutoring is more than structured learning; it fosters a student-mentor relationship built on curiosity, inquiry, and discovery. The tutor inspires and provides guidance, but the student determines the topic of exploration.
For students in my department, I focus on economic issues, examined through an interdisciplinary lens. I encourage students to view economic phenomena beyond numerical analysis, recognizing that economics is a part of the humanities— the study of human behavior and society.
