The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the effectiveness of peer-tutoring in improving academic success and retention of peer-tutored students enrolled in mathematics courses. Course grades, cumulative GPAs, math course retention rates, and overall retention rates of 1135 peer-tutored and 3504 non peer-tutored students and responses to the Student Success Center Evaluation Form of 339 peer-tutored students over a period of six semesters were collected for data analysis. The results showed that peer-tutoring had a positive impact on students' cumulative GPAs and overall retention rates. Most students perceived that their knowledge did increase after attending peer-tutoring sessions and reported their positive experiences with tutors at the Student Success Center. Recommendations for peer-tutoring program improvement were included in the final section. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
