Peer Tutoring

At La Cueva, we are committed to building a supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. Our Peer Tutoring Program provides students with the opportunity to serve as academic mentors by working directly in classrooms alongside teachers and classmates.

How It Works

  • Peer Tutors are selected students who demonstrate strong academic skills, responsibility, and a willingness to help others.

  • Tutors are placed in classrooms where they assist teachers and support students during instruction, group work, and individual practice.

  • Some tutors are also available in our Bear Success Center (BSC) during select times.

  • Peer tutors receive training on effective strategies, communication, and ways to encourage student success.

Benefits

  • For Students Receiving Support: Extra encouragement and personalized help in the classroom.

  • For Peer Tutors: Leadership experience, service opportunities, stronger communication skills, and a chance to make a meaningful difference.

  • For Teachers: An extra layer of classroom support that benefits all learners.

Why It Matters

The Peer Tutoring Program strengthens our school community by fostering collaboration, leadership, and a culture of service. By working together, students not only improve academically but also grow socially and emotionally, building the confidence needed for success in high school and beyond.

Interested in Becoming a Peer Tutor

Students can apply to be a Peer Tutor in the Spring of their Junior year. After they fill out an application and recieve teacher recommendations, Mrs. Chandler will notify them of their placement.
