This article is focused on one-on-one peer tutoring with a student who may have a disability, but I think it also gives good advice to any type of peer tutor.

It shows you some of the most important actions a peer tutor should take to have the most effective bond with the student. It shows you how to be responsible, profession, and honest to any student in the class. It also gives you advice on how to be respectful, trusting, and trustworthy. Lastly, it tells you how not to abuse your power and how to make yourself a good example to others so they can all behave as well as you do.

This article is simple and straightforward with an appealing layout, so anyone can use it. It could help any type of peer tutor because its advice is general but specific enough to deal with the certain needs to any child or student. It easily taught me, and I think it could easily teach someone else in my position as well.

This site can't really influence my development as a peer tutor anymore, because it is the end of the year. But it CAN influence my potential future job as a teacher, by giving me good advice on how to deal with students who may have a disability.
