2. Peer Tutoring
• process between two or more students
in a group where one of the students
acts as a tutor for the other group-
mate(s)
• can be applied among students of the
same age or students belonging to

implemented in specific cases and for
specific subjects, following a well-

interactions that facilitate learning since
they are older, skilled and/or
knowledgeable.
Values of cooperation, respect for one

around minimizes discipline problems or
indifferences to get actively involved.
