Abstract

Peer tutoring has emerged as a very important tool to impact learning among students. This research focuses on the impact of peer tutoring on students’ achievement in the English language of grade 10 students of District Haveli Kahuta in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The current study was experimental and used a pre-test and a post-test to measure the difference between a control and an experimental group in terms of students’ achievement. The researchers employed the Paired Random Sampling technique of forty learners who were put into two equal groups (20 students in each group). The pupils in the first group (Experimental) were taught through the peer tutoring method while the pupils in the second group (control) went through the lecture method. T-Test was employed to compare students’ achievement. The current study concluded that peer tutoring expedites students’ learning in the subject of English by making their understanding crystal clear. It also enhanced skill development and helped students to gain insight into their subject matter. Moreover, it would be better if peer tutoring is practiced in schools to enhance teaching teaching-learning process.
