Description

The purpose of this design project is to help college students within Brigham Young University become qualified Peer Educators. Peer Educators work with other students who are in need of academic assistance. They help by offering tutoring services, responsive feedback, and holistic student support. Currently, around eighty student employees are working for the BYU Student Success Center as tutors. Prior to this project, these tutors offered help in specialized subjects, but they were not trained to offer any support beyond specific questions asked by students. They had not been trained in the holistic “Peer Educator” responsibilities and were instead trained to perform the tasks of a tutor. The overall purpose of this newly developed training program is to help these student employees shift from being tutors to being certified Peer Educators.
