Tutoring

. There are three types of tutoring. They are peer tutoring, cross-age tutoring, and parent/adult volunteer tutoring. Peer tutoring can be defined as a one-on-one teaching process in which the tutor is of the same general age, grade, or academic status as the tutee. When the tutor is an older student, cross-age tutoring is the appropriate term to use. (It is important to note that some publications make no distinctions between peer and cross-age tutoring. Instead, they use peer tutoring as an umbrella term encompassing both.) The third type of tutoring is parent/volunteer tutoring, where adults outside the school tutor students. from Tutoring: Strategies for Successful Learning
