Earl Haig Peer Tutoring Committee was founded over a decade ago to service the school community by providing students with a proactive and friendly tutoring service. By pairing students who require support in their learning with knowledgeable and understanding tutors, students are not only able to succeed in school but also find joy in their studies. While we strive to provide students with tutoring in almost all subject areas, we also aim to teach students various study skills and habits that will enable them to excel in school without the need of a long-term tutor. Peer tutoring is 100% cost-free to you since our tutors are other students from Earl Haig of various grades who have volunteered their time to helping others succeed. When students join peer tutoring, they are paired up with a responsible and patient tutor and will attend at least one session per week or according to need. Our tutors will work one on one with students or in small groups of less than three students and ensure that their teaching and instruction is tailored to fit the needs of the students. While our tutors can not replace the role of a classroom teacher, our tutors can reinforce, strengthen or clarify topics covered in class. Most importantly, many of our tutors have or will be receiving certification in tutoring from L2L, an organization that certifies tutors.
