| Abstract: Peer tutoring is an approach commonly used in learning and research on it will enable instructors to refine its use. The purpose of his study is to gain insight on tutor’s experiences in the course of peer tutoring. Two groups of participants consisting of 10 advanced diploma in Financial Accounting students with mixed proficiency using peer tutoring to analyse two business case studies were observed. The peer-tutoring sessions were video-taped. Additionally, the researcher produced observation notes to record down significant incidents. Both tutors and tutees were interviewed and even produced journals to describe their experiences and their opinions on the sessions. Consequently, two categories of information regarding the tutors were obtained. They consist of firstly, their personal reflections and secondly, their recommendations on improving future peer-tutoring sessions. Detailed areas of information covered in this study range from the tutors’ perceptions of requirements as tutors, insights on the process of peer tutoring and clear suggestions on carrying out effective peer tutoring in the classroom. There were suggestions from tutors on how to improve future peer tutoring sessions, too. The tutors’ recommendations were allowing tutors to view videos of productive peer-tutoring sessions, conducting rehearsals for tutors, meeting regularly with instructors for debriefing purpose and providing sufficient time for peer tutoring |
