What is Peer Tutoring?
Peer Tutoring is a club at Scripps Ranch High School aimed to help students with their academics.
Our club advisor is Ms. Smith, who is an English teacher at SRHS. You can email her at jsmith1@sandi.net
Problem
Many students need extra help with topics in their classes, but they don't know who to go to for personalized assistance. Many programs are costly, have to be scheduled, and require parents to pay for tutoring.
Solution
Peer tutoring offers free guidance for all Scripps Ranch students. All tutors are SRHS students. You can even find a tutor who had the same teacher or class as you, so they will understand the course and its challenges. Peer tutoring will help students improve their grades and learn in a supportive enviornment.

Donovan Macatee
SECRETARY/TREASURER
Grade: Junior
Subject Tutored: Physics, IM 3, AP Euro
Why do you tutor? I like helping students learn because in return, it exercises my brain and sometimes I learn things from the interactions. Some students struggle to learn the material the exact way the teacher teaches it and I think that having a student help them can give them a more helpful viewpoint on the material. The biggest reason I like tutoring is because I like the subjects I am tutoring so its fun and the added bonus is that you get to help people succeed.
Fun Fact: I love sports. I play beach volleyball and soccer. I also like doing other outdoor activities like swimming and hiking. I also like to hang out with my friends and go to the movies with them. I am also more of a STEM kid and I don't like to read.
