The Impact of Peer Tutoring in Business Education
Colleges of business play a critical role in preparing students for careers in today’s workforce. However, these institutions often face persistent challenges in helping students navigate demanding coursework while also developing the practical skills needed for long-term success. Foundational courses in areas such as accounting, finance, and economics are essential for students’ academic progress and future careers, but they are also some of the most difficult. Without timely support, struggling students risk falling behind or leaving their programs altogether. Peer tutoring programs, specifically tailored for colleges of business, present an effective way to bridge this gap. By fostering a system where students assist their peers academically, these programs help institutions address retention challenges while building a culture of collaboration and mutual success.
