The Peer Tutoring programme was fully established as an integral method of learning assistance in the Tertiary Study Skills Centre at The Waikato Polytechnic, Hamilton, New Zealand in 1993. This followed a semester of piloting the concept in 1992. Since that date, each year approximately 50 active Peer Tutors have assisted 350 students. The students are representative of fifteen departments receiving an average of 1500 paid student delivery hours annually. At its five institutional sites, the Waikato Polytechnic offers a wide range of courses ranging from bridging certificates to post-graduate qualifications. Consequently the student profile varies considerably. Many students are first generation tertiary learners, there are a significant number of mature students without formal qualifications, and others who have tertiary qualifications, but are seeking vocational qualifications. Peer Tutoring was originally based on providing 1:1 out of class assistance for students experiencing course content related difficulties. However, due to the differing needs of students attending such a wide range of courses, it has been necessary to pro-actively initiate new and varying methods of Peer Tutoring delivery.
