Exploring Peer Tutoring as a High-Impact Practice: A Conversation with Jillian Kinzie and George Kuh

Peer tutoring has long been a staple of academic support in higher education, but could it rise to the level of a high-impact practice (HIP)? In a recent virtual event, I had the privilege of exploring this question with two esteemed colleagues: Dr. Jillian Kinzie, Associate Director at Indiana University’s Center for Postsecondary Research, and Dr. George Kuh, Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus at Indiana University and one of the foremost experts on high-impact practices. Together, we explored the potential of peer tutoring to transform student engagement and success.
