A peer tutor is, well a peer. They often have a similar track and can communicate from a learner level rather than a teaching level. A peer tutor can also show the learner that the information can be grasped, the peer can share their own experiences and struggles. We often use this method at my company to help struggling…

At my church, Queen of All Saints, there is a religious education program in which I was a student for eight years. It began in first grade and continued all the way throughout eighth grade. It began in October and lasted until April. Once I hit sixth grade I intended on being an Alter Server at my church.
