The Students as Tutors (SATutors) is a “Near Peer” tutoring program giving high school students the opportunity to become appropriate role models and mentors in school and community settings. Elementary and Middle School students identified as those who would benefit from additional resources in the form of academic and technologic support are paired with SATutors to provide after school educational support. Through peer tutoring experiences, mentors help to reduce the disparities that are barriers for academic and social achievement and may become lifelong advocates for their individual learner. Peer tutoring links high achieving high school students with younger learners for structured learning. It promotes academic gains as well as social enhancement.
