BHS PEER TUTORING PROGRAM
2021-2022
Who are the Peer Tutors?
Peer tutors are students who have volunteered to help students who may be struggling in a particular subject. They have been assigned to tutor specific subject areas based on their personal performance as well as a teacher endorsement in that subject area. While peer tutoring is not intended to take the place of getting help directly from the subject teacher or from a professional tutor, many students find it helpful to meet with someone their own age who has been through a similar class recently and who is not directly evaluating them.
Who should consider making arrangements to see a Peer Tutor?
It is always most beneficial to seek out help at the first sign of difficulty and sometimes even meeting with a tutor once or twice can make a big difference. Even “A” students may find it helpful to see a Peer Tutor from time to time. However, especially if a student is at risk of earning a D or an F in a class, it is recommended that they give regular meetings with a Peer Tutor a try. Students may seek out a tutor on their own or teachers and counselors may recommend that a student consider arranging a Peer Tutor. Students should continue to see their classroom teacher for help in addition to meeting with a Peer Tutor.
