Students at De La Salle have the opportunity to participate in a robust peer tutoring program. Students who are looking for additional academic support outside of teacher tutorials and office hours may request to have a peer tutor. Peer tutors work with students on a regular, one to one basis. Senior students are eager to assist their younger peers with their academic challenges. Moreover, peer tutoring often develops into more than just academic support where relationships are forged and senior students act as role models for younger students in areas outside the classroom as well. The program is so successful that students who had a peer tutor often want to become a peer tutor so they too can have a positive impact on the younger students at De La Salle.
