Tutors also benefit from mentoring others.
Montini Catholic recently announced their National Honor Society (NHS) Peer Tutors (and officers) for the 2023-24 school year. Each year this group of dedicated leaders volunteer to make themselves available to help their peers, who are struggling with certain courses, work toward self-responsibility and self-direction with their school work.
"Students and tutors are partnered with one another and schedule times to work together either before or after school based upon their respective schedules," explained Mr. Mike Dailey, co-moderator of Montini's National Honor Society this year. "Our designated NHS tutoring time is every Thursday after school in our Learning Resource Center. We also try to schedule students together who have the same study hall period for convenience."
"As a peer tutor, my goal is to help students understand the material and form good study habits in order for their grades to improve," said Secretary, Trinity Smith. "I hope that my efforts will encourage each student that I tutor to consider tutoring the younger students when they become upperclassmen at Montini."
"I really want to help students gain an understanding in subjects that they are interested in and show why those subjects are actually fascinating," said Jasmin Baker-Rohlehr, who hopes to improve her own interpersonal skills and experience by providing students with a unique perspective on material. "I hope to be an OBGYN and deliver babies, so being well-versed in biology, anatomy, and women’s studies is always a goal I strive to achieve. Teaching students helps both them and me to comprehend materials."

"We are so proud of and pleased to see the Peer Tutoring program continue at Montini Catholic High School," said Principal Chris Tiritilli. "The program is beneficial for so many reasons. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is received by the students who are able to get extra support assistance directly from a peer. Additionally, our peer tutors benefit through being entrusted and empowered to utilize their skills and talents to help another Bronco achieve success and/or meet a goal. These experiences build continual leadership skills in our students as well as reinforce the Lasallian charism that is the basis of our school."
