Aloha from Hawaii!
Our center's primary focus is on one-to-one peer tutoring, but many students prefer interacting in groups, and I believe that group
services are able to attract/support some students who wouldn't access
individual tutoring. Accordingly, we also offer several programs that target groups:
- Language Conversation Groups: small weekly groups that engage students through conversation practice, cultural enrichment and fun activities, led by a peer tutor or volunteer who's a native speaker of the language;
- Science Success workshops: interactive workshops (offered several times during one week of the semester) focusing on study skills for science, led by teams of peer tutors;
- Pre-exam review sessions: led by a peer tutor for students in a particular instructor's course, usually a science or social science course.
We've been offering these programs for some years, and they generally work well, but I'd like to know what other group-oriented, peer-delivered services are out there that we might try -- or ways to tweak the services we currently offer.
Our campus offered Supplemental Instruction for a while, but the level of organization required would demand an additional professional (and funding) that we don't currently have, so SI isn't an option.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
