Peer tutors are young people who help other young people to learn. On this course Peer Tutors are trained and supported to take on this role and form an essential part of the learning team.
Peer Tutors can support primary to secondary transition by running activities with local primary schools or can support mainstream and extra curricular activity in their own school, while some even support older young people.
Research shows that as well as having an impact on the young people they support, Peer Tutors also see an improvement in their own achievement. Whether for primary or secondary age students, the outcome is always a rise in standards and student achievement.

This Peer Tutor training programme asks the young people involved to reflect on their own experiences of learning in different settings and challenges them to use this understanding to effectively help others to learn. The course places great emphasis on the importance of positive relationships for learning, how people learn in different ways and how to respond as a Peer Tutor to different scenarios which could arise.
