Peer Tutoring

Peer tutoring refers to students working in pairs to help one another learn material or practice an academic task in a peer-to-peer environment. For the tutor, it can be a comprehensive career experience. For the student, it's an opportunity to learn from another student who is "on their level." Tutoring sessions usually occur in a small group or one-on-one tutoring sessions.
