The Peer Tutor Program matches high school students tutors with youth entering third through eighth grades tutees who have shown a need for additional academic support and have expressed an interest in working with a student volunteer tutor.
The program provides a supportive learning environment where tutees can gain confidence, improve school performance, and develop study skills. Pairs meet weekly starting in October until the end of the school year. Students helping other students can be a very successful and fun way to learn. The result may be better grades and improved self-esteem for both the tutee and the tutor. Read More About Becoming a Tutor. Read More About Becoming a Tutee. Skip to Main Content.

Peer tutoring has been shown to produce positive academic and social outcomes for students from kindergarten through their senior year of high school. A research analysis found students participating in peer tutoring showed academic gains across content areas and grade levels, including students with disabilities; students with emotional and behavioral disorders benefited most.
In a study of peer tutoring in science , students reported tutoring motivated them to strengthen their understanding of certain concepts and helped them identify gaps in their knowledge. A research analysis showed that both tutors and their partners outperformed students in control groups on math and reading tests.
Research has shown peer tutoring can also positively affect social relationships. In a review of previous studies , K students participating in various models of peer tutoring showed improved social skills, increased positive social interactions with peers, and increased academic engagement. For some learners, the greatest benefit is having someone in their corner.
As a result, the student received more individualized attention in class, Kymani says, and made him feel more supported and motivated to learn. Pairs meet twice a week in Zoom breakout rooms, and about 54 percent of students being tutored this year passed a class second quarter that they failed in the first quarter, Mann says.
The program also aims to foster social connections and promote a positive school culture , which is one of the reasons Mann allows tutors to request their partners. Peer tutoring programs are often launched to support students who are struggling the most. Some students that educators might not immediately think of as ideal tutors — such as English language learners or those with learning disabilities — can have a big impact on their partners, he says, though they might need more guidance throughout the process.
Peer-mediated instruction is commonly used as a strategy to better serve and include students with disabilities.
To implement something similar, schools should focus on creating a culture centered around community, he says. Topping advocates for class-wide tutoring, which pairs all students from two classrooms, typically at different grade levels, for tutoring during the school day.
He says this avoids labeling students who need help as weak or underperforming, and allows all students to benefit.
The benefits of peer tutoring can be diminished if not implemented correctly.
