Abstract
The study was designed to examine the effects of peer tutoring as a strategy of teaching on students’ success in the subject of
mathematics at secondary level. It was an experimental study and it followed pre-test post-test equivalent research design.
The experiment was carried on 200 students from two different schools (boys and Girls). One hundred students were taken as
sample from each of the school and on the basis of teacher made pre-test, students were randomly divided into experimental
and control groups. The experiment lasted for eight weeks and post-test was taken to examine the effects of peer tutoring on
students’ academic achievement. An effort was made to control all other variable like academic and professional qualification
of teachers, academic achievement of students, and socioeconomic status of students and teachers etc. It was found that peer
tutoring brought about positive changes in the results of students in mathematics. It was concluded that peer tutoring strategy
found fruitful in increasing the academic achievement of students who were weak and mediocre also. It was suggested that
teachers may be trained to use peer tutoring as a strategy on regular basis for securing better results in academics at school
level.
