What is your CRLA Level? Peer Tutor in Training
How have you represented PTP? I have represented PTP by supporting my tutees as much as I can. I prepare for my tutoring appointments by studying the material ahead of time. I try to give my tutees as much direction as possible, so they will succeed on the tests and in the class. PTP is a very open and supportive place, and I try to mirror that.
How has PTP impacted you? PTP has made my communication skills better and has prepared me for my future as a physician. As someone who used the peer tutoring program in the past, helping students that I see myself in is very special for me. I work with a lot of students who are on the path to medical school and being able to help them is an important part of my day.
Student Testimonial: “You are working with a peer who is actually knowledgeable about what you’re studying and since they had the same professor, they are able to give advice for how to prepare and take exams.”
