Peer Tutoring

The Peer Tutor Program is a tutoring service available to EGHS students seeking assistance with their assignments, assessments, and/or study habits.

Request a Peer Tutor
To request a peer tutor, please click on the link and complete the form. Students must be logged into their egsd.net account to complete the Google Form.

A student requesting services is matched with a qualified student and is scheduled to meet once a week for academic support. Peer Tutor requests will be honored for the duration of the semester. Students are expected to meet with the tutor for the entire semester unless notified otherwise. If a student wishes to continue into the next semester, notification is required. If the student would like to continue with the same tutor, every effort will be made to accommodate this request.

Tutoring assignments depend on the availability of tutors in specific subject areas. Allow 1 week for tutoring assignments to be filled. You will receive a notice via email or text. Instructors, Advisors, and Guidance Counselors may be notified of the tutoring assignment. The Peer Tutor Program is managed by the National Honor Society. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Lenox.

Due to restrictions presented by COVID-19, the peer tutoring program has been adjusted to ensure the safety of both the students and tutors. Instead of taking place in-person at the library, the peer tutoring program will be conducted exclusively online, through video chat and other virtual resources. Tutors and students can decide on the date/time and platform of video calls (Skype, Facetime, Google Meet, etc.) accordingly. Otherwise, the program will proceed as usual and students should still fill out the google form to request a peer tutor.
