For students, by students , supervised by teachers, tutoring takes several forms:
- Disciplinary tutoring concerns teachings relating to the training areas of the establishment. The sessions are presented in the form of exercises in examination conditions, such as mock exams for PACES students, writing case comments or practical cases for law tutoring.
