Definition

a peer tutoring approach that joins students of different ages, with older students assuming the role of tutor and younger students assuming the role of tutee

The strategies were derived from the Fuchs interest in developing a peer-mediated instructional strategy that incorporated elements of other research-based methods including Class-Wide Peer Tutoring (CWPT), ClassroomBased Measurement (CBM), Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC), and Reciprocal Teaching

an intervention strategy combining selfmanagement methods, group interdependent reward contingencies, and reciprocal peer teaching to promote academic and social competency

Benefits of Peer Tutoring There are several benefits for teachers, students and students being tutored, in using peer tutorial programs. 1. Many students may feel more at ease, and thus can concentrate better on the subject matter, with a peer tutor rather than a professional teacher or consultant (Ehly et. al. 21). 2. Peer tutors help themselves increase their own understanding of the subject matter they tutor students in/on, which boosts confidence and can carry over to their desire to learn other subjects. So we can see that peer tutoring is mutually beneficial; both the student and tutor stand to gain something. And, of course, peer tutoring is also beneficial to teachers who may not have the time to spend with each of their students one-on-one. according to Goodlad and Hirst, there are four main benefits for the students or tutees when they seek out peer help: 1. they receive individualized instruction; learning will be effective if every correct response to a question by a student is rewarded, the reward working as an incentive for the student to take another step in learning 2. they receive more teaching; also gives students being tutored a pretty obvious advantage .Working with a tutor is usually done outside of normal class time, so spending more time on their work with someone that is familiar with what they are doing outside of class obviously means that the students get more teaching time. Peer tutorial sessions give students the chance to talk through problems with a qualified person, whereas students may not get the chance to do this with a teacher or professor because of the many other students in the class taking up or demanding the instructor's time. Also, interaction with a peer tutor of nearly the same age can be a big help. 3. they (may) respond better to their peers than to their teachers; students potentially respond better to their peers than to their teachers, is probably one of the most important reasons for using peer tutoring 4. and lastly, they can obtain companionship from the students that tutor them. The final case, in which students being tutored can receive companionship from peer tutors, is a pretty matterof-fact psychological rationalization. As Goodlad and Hirst say, "Just as a child feels more secure in the presence of an older person in a social situation, so the child may feel more secure when similarly guided in an intellectual one" (63). Following this logic, Gestalt theory -- which affirms that learning occurs when the learner can locate an item in an intellectual structure or field -- says that "learning will be improved if the structure or field into which individual ideas and experiences must be placed, is simply, quickly and painlessly communicated" (63). Peer tutoring, by its nature, does just this; it allows a student having trouble with a particular subject to work with someone who has a breadth of knowledge of the subject they tutor in, and can thus "painlessly communicate" (we hope) to the student what needs to be done for him or her to become a full-fledged part of the academic group or community he or she wants to be involved in, and to improve the quality of his or her work. Peer tutoring affects students achievement According to Peterson (2010)Peer tutoring is an effective way to enhance academic achievement and encourage better social and emotional development. Peer tutoring gives teachers the capability to accommodate a classroom of diverse learners to improve academic achievement across ability levels and content areas.
