Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students enrolled in this course provide tutorial support to students enrolled in AVID elective and other lower-division courses, including English 1,2, English 3,4, Integrated Math I A-B, and Physics 1,2. Tutors are trained to apply AVID strategies and materials with their students and to work with these students individually and in cooperative groups, assisting them to build a strong learning foundation in all core content areas. AVID tutors hone their communication skills, group facilitation techniques, and peer-to-peer teaching strategies while strengthening their self-awareness and leadership skills. Tutors who complete the course requirements successfully may earn AVID certification from the AVID Center. AVID Peer Support is tailored to match the unique needs of each high school. The course provides students with the opportunity to explore the teaching profession, to strengthen their content knowledge, to gain a service learning experience involving the support of their peers and school, and to acquire certification that may extend their association with AVID tutoring beyond high school.
