Peer Tutoring

Peer Tutoring is a unique intervention as this can have a double impact in your school, providing positive benefits for both the tutors and tutees. Here is a short video of Prof Steve Higgins speaking to Peer Tutor about the impact of peer tutoring.

Research evidence

Research evidence shows that peer tutoring, on average, has a positive impact on both tutors and tutees, and may be a cost effective approach to delivering one to one or small group tuition in your school. 
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) teaching and learning toolkit describes peer tutoring as high impact for very low cost and based on extensive evidence. The EEF explains that:

  • Effects are similar (5+ months) for both primary and secondary age pupils.
  • Impact is similar (5+ months) for both literacy and mathematics.
  • Lower attaining pupils tend to benefit more (6+ months) than higher attaining pupils.
  • Impact on tutors is on average slightly higher (6+ months), however the evidence is weaker due to the limited number of robust studies.

Therefore, as a targeted intervention approach in your school, peer tutoring has the potential to impact the attainment of both tutors and tutees. To find out more from the EEF visit their toolkit here.  

Multi-year approach to your interventions

In the UK, the Department for Education (DFE) recommend schools take a longer-term approach by planning their use of the pupil premium over multiple years (3 years is recommended). 

Embedding peer tutoring as an academic intervention is unique, as you are able to plan for students who are the tutees (Year 3) in 2021/22 to become the peer tutors when they progress to Year 5 in 2023/24.
