Sažetak
Today we are witnessing rapid changes in society, which are also reflected in the family, in terms of knowledge, the school and the teacher as well as in terms of the tutor in a student residence hall. The conditions of growing up and the possibilities of entering the
world of adults have also changed significantly, and the young people are being faced with new risks and uncertainties.
Despite these changes, some basic developmental tasks of the age of adolescence have essentially remained the same. The adolescents must develop their identity and find their individual and independent way into life. It is here that the role of the school and student residence hall is very important, especially in providing students with
necessary guidance and support, which will help them overcome the various barriers that life brings. Experience from school and the time they spent in a student residence hall have a significant influence on students' attitude towards their tutors and peers, on their
reactions, their ability to recognise feelings and establish social relationships, their values, and their ability to adapt to societal norms and form their own identity. Students expect the tutor to be able to provide support and advice when they are confronted with a problem or need to make a decision.
What is discussed here actually is the implementation of a concept where the tutor will show interest for the student as a person, offer advice and support in finding solutions for their problems while always keeping in mind the key principle in counselling – offering
advice only when the student has asked for it.
The role of an adviser is a demanding one, and tutors must be well prepared for it. Fundamental knowledge and skills can be acquired in an undergraduate programme. However, continuing education, which will help them develop the competences they need for their efficient work as advisers, is of even greater importance.
