INCORPORATING PEER TUTORS

The Teacher’s Guide to Peer Tutoring together with the Peer Tutor Student Handbook are designed to help teachers develop and maintain a successful and mutually rewarding peer tutor program.

“This experience helped me grow as a person. I wanted to do this so I could understand how to help others and learn different ways to communicate with different people. I started out being a peer tutor and teaching them, but I ended up being their friend.” 

~ Katy, Peer Tutor

“My favorite part was just being able to interact with students in the special education classroom and have fun and get to see who they were. They’re people just like us. They’re a little bit different but they’re still someone.”

~Peter, Peer Tutor

Scheduling Tip

Find a student in your classroom who can read and understand your master schedule. Assign them a job in the morning to help set up individual student schedules. See the video of Megan setting up the schedule.

Suzanne’s student Megan was her Teacher’s Assistant first period during her junior and senior year. One of her jobs, among other clerical tasks, was to set up individual student schedules. It saved Suzanne prep time in the morning and was a great vocational experience for Megan.
