Are you falling behind in class? Is the grade you have not your best? Well, all that

can change. Every day at lunch from 11:00-11:30, you can go to the media center and get

tutored. The tutoring doesn’t cost a thing. Just show up, and you’ll be assigned a

tutor.

When a student is struggling in class, s/he supposed to ask the teacher for help.

Usually teacher will help, but sometimes they can’t and this is where tutoring comes in.

Some students get embarrassed to go to a tutoring but they are also embarrassed to ask

the teacher. With the NHS Peer Tutoring there are no teachers, as students are tutored

by peers who could be in the same grade as you or higher.

The students that are tutors usually volunteer to get SSL hours, but that doesn’t

mean they don’t care about students and their grades.

The students that are being tutored have good things to say. My friend Erica says,

“The students that tutor have a different technique than the teachers. They teach us in a

way that we understand.”

During the tutoring, the students decide on what they need help with. Then the

tutor will help them with the subject. When I went, there were students at the table

doing their work, with the tutors standing behind them. There were cameras recording

and interviewing some students. If a student has a grade lower than a C, then it’s

mandatory to go for tutoring during lunch.
