The key survey findings and feedback for previous semester STG sessions by the student coachees and tutees were presented during the session and areas for improvement were also highlighted to the new group of tutors and coaches. This session allows the peer tutors and coaches to meet up with their respective course coordinators to network and to understand the expectation from the course coordinators for their respective STG courses. The course coordinators would brief, guide and provide important pointers to their respective peer tutors and coaches. At the same time, it is also an avenue where the past peer tutors and coaches could share their experiences and tips with the new peer tutors and coaches.
