MICHAEL,
Tutoring and mentoring are both important. Mentoring can also aid in helping students to be self-directed and help them set realistic goals.

tutoring is an excellent way to help students, however some students are to proud to ask a teacher for tutoring, we have a peer tutor program that helsp a lot.
Carroll,
Sometimes you have to direct the student to tutoring and not wait for them to ask.
Ron Hansen, Ed. D.
Peer tutoring has been a useful tool to help struggling students and reduce anxiety of the struggling students.
Shana,
Students helping students helps both.
Ron Hansen, Ed. D.
I believe both are equally important tutoring and mentoring. I also have my students to have tutoring breafast or lunch as a big incentive to have students come to tutoring.
I agree. Not all students will sign up for tutoring. Establishing a mentor program will help the student who may not always ask for help.
Often students that need tutoring also need mentoring. They naturally go hand in hand as frequently the students need tutoring as a result of problems that a mentor can assist with.
cynthia,
A good point. Yes, there should be communications between a tutoring and mentoring program.
