Introduction
"You only remember about 10% of what you read from textbooks, but retain nearly 90% of what you learn through teaching others". - (NTL, USA)
What is Peer Tutoring?
Peer tutoring is a program where students with a strong understanding of a subject help their peers who need extra support. It fosters a collaborative learning environment where you can:
- Deepen your understanding: By explaining concepts to others, you solidify your own learning.
- Develop communication skills: Effective communication is key to successful tutoring.
- Build your CV: Tutoring experience demonstrates leadership, community involvement, and academic excellence – all marketable achievements for your CV.
