Conclusions

One of the better aspects of human nature is our capacity and willingness to help each other. Tutoring takes this and builds upon it, making it not only an instrument for building positive interpersonal relationships, but also an extremely flexible, cost-effective learning tool by which children on both sides of the equation (tutors and tutees) can flourish. Almost any subject can be used in a tutoring context, and students and adults of all ages can be participants (Rekrut, 1994). While it may take a good deal of organization and planning to successfully implement a tutoring program, the benefits will likely outshine these efforts, making it a worthwhile endeavor for teachers and students alike.
