Frequently Asked Questions

How formal is the relationship between students and teachers at institutions?

The relationship between students and teachers is informal. Professors, tutors and teachers are always available and students are encouraged to approach them. At school you address teachers as Mr, Mrs or Ms; they will usually address you by your first name. At vocational institutes and universities the relationship is quite casual; students usually call teachers by their first name, although they may use Professor or Doctor.
