Welcome!

Welcome to the Palmer Peer Tutoring website.

Looking for a tutor? Click on the "Request a Tutor" tab and fill in the form. We check the responses to this form about once a week and then require time to get in touch with a tutor. Please expect to wait about two weeks to hear back from someone in the Peer Tutoring program.

Currently we are unable to guarantee tutors for grade 11 and 12 level courses. Since the tutors themselves are in grades 9-12, it can be difficult to find someone who is comfortable in helping tutees with senior level courses. We cannot offer tutoring in senior level language courses at this time as we do not have any qualified tutors in this area.


Cost:

  • Each tutor charges $15/hour

  • If you are unable to pay this hourly rate, please contact Ms. Epp directly (sepp@sd38.bc.ca) to see if we are able to set your child up with a tutor at a cheaper rate or for free. We have a limited number of volunteer tutors for families who require financial assistance.


Peer Tutor Training Sessions

The next peer tutor training sessions will take place in September and October 2021. There are a total of four workshops you must attend to be certified as a peer tutor. The training sessions will either happen during PLT or after school. If you are interested to attend the peer tutor training sessions, please email Ms. Epp at sepp@sd38.bc.ca so you can receive email reminders about the sessions.
