Peer Tutors Welcome the Opportunity to Provide Support.
Montini Catholic recently announced their National Honor Society (NHS) Peer Tutors for the 2024-25 school year. Each year this group of dedicated leaders volunteer to make themselves available to help their peers, who are struggling with certain courses, work toward self-responsibility and self-direction with their school work.
"Students and tutors are partnered with one another and schedule times to work together either before or after school based upon their respective schedules," explained Mr. Mike Dailey, co-moderator of Montini's National Honor Society this year. "Our designated NHS tutoring time is every Thursday after school in our Learning Resource Center. We also try to schedule students together who have the same study hall period for convenience."
"I decided to be a peer tutor because I have seen the impact that past peer tutors have had on students at Montini," said senior Sienna Skarda. "As an upperclassman I am always willing to help people, so being a peer tutor is something that I am excited to do. I have met many people at Montini who struggle in certain areas of school so being able to help them as a peer tutor seems like an amazing group for me to be in."
Montini Catholic's 2023-24 Peer Tutors are:
Annika Bartell
Joshua Brunke
Julia Gergen
Izzy Jaojoco
Conor Kaefer
Jaxon Lane
Danny Sherman
Matthew Silveyra
Sienna Skarda
Roberto Soto
Lily Spanos
"We are so proud of and pleased to see the Peer Tutoring program continue at Montini Catholic High School," said Principal Chris Tiritilli. "The program is beneficial for so many reasons. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is received by the students who are able to get extra support assistance directly from a peer. Additionally, our peer tutors benefit through being entrusted and empowered to utilize their skills and talents to help another Bronco achieve success and/or meet a goal. These experiences build continual leadership skills in our students as well as reinforce the Lasallian charism that is the basis of our school."
