Peer teaching is a method by which one student instructs another student. The benefit is peers and students share a similar discourse, allowing for greater understanding. "Research also indicates that peer learning activities typically yield the following results for both tutor and tutee: team-building spirit and more supportive relationships; greater psychological well-being, social competence, communication skills and self-esteem; and higher achievement and greater productivity in terms of enhanced learning outcomes."
Students have the opportunity to work and collaborate together to learn and grow from each other. Collaborative learning has been shown to not only develop higher-level thinking skills in students, but boost their confidence and self-esteem as well.
Research help students improve reading skills. It helps students develop critical thinking and reasoning skills as they collect sources for their writing.
