a. Peer tutoring can increase students’ motivation and self-confidence

In peer tutoring, the students are motivated in reading class because they have opportunity to be tutor and help their friends in mastering the subject being studied. Their confidences also improve when they are asked to teach one another. The students as tutors feel confident since they have ability or competence to help their tutee. Meanwhile, the tutees are also confident because they get positive feedback from their friends. Both tutors and tutees gain self-confidence, the tutor by seeing self- competence in his or her ability to help someone and the tutee by receiving positive reinforcement from peers Topping, 1996: 234 Effects on both tutors and tutees were positive in the areas of learning, attitude toward subject matter, and self-confidence Cohen and Kulik 1981in http:crossroadsoflearning.comntatutorpaloozapdfNTA_Peer_Tutoring_Factshe et_020107.pdf Peer tutoring improve self-confidence and communication skills – As you teach and share with your peers, you will unknowingly develop self- confidence and communications skills.
