Abstract

Tutoring is a teaching-learning process that seeks to improve the academic results of students, in addition to improving the quality of education provided by educational institutions, as evidenced by the retention rate and timely
graduation. The objective of this work is to present an experience of a tutorial program applied to fifth year nursing students, who had failed up to three times
the degree exam. A series of tutoring sessions were carried out with seven students that included applied work, with the purpose of developing a process of review, resolution of doubts, and application of what was learned; in addition to
promoting self-control, study routines and self-care. The tutorial program presented achieved that the seven students took their degree exams in a positive way, so it is concluded that it was an effective strategy for the student to reach the necessary competencies for their level, as well as it can also help with the quality assurance of the education delivered by the institutions.
