peer tutoring
Classmates helping classmates
Peer tutoring is an educational arrangement where students teach or assist other students, typically of similar age or academic level.
The tutor reinforces their own understanding while the tutee receives individualized help: The school's peer tutoring program pairs upperclassmen with struggling freshmen.
It's valued for being less intimidating than adult instruction and for building community among students.
