High School tutoring clubs could help struggling students complete their assignments and study for tests. While some students struggle in high school courses, such as mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts, other students excel in their courses.
As a high school teacher, I observe how some students grasp information and catch on to coursework much faster than other students. In contrast, some students are slow learners, and need assistance in order to keep up with the rest of the class.
High School tutoring clubs can help close the achievement gap between talented and struggling students as the most talented students can help struggling students with coursework.
There is only so much time that one teacher can spend with each student, particularly at schools with some classes having over 30 students. An ideal class size would be 10-15 students.
However, smaller class sizes would require more money to hire more teachers, and each school only has a certain budget, which is determined by the local government and taxpayers.
Also, with technology, students can communicate with each other without being physically present and get help with coursework from fellow classmates. New technology in the classroom, powered by artificial intelligence, will allow students to get the learning assistance that they need on their coursework in the future.
Chatbots, powered by AI technology, can help students with their coursework as a one-on-one teacher or tutor could, which will greatly help teachers in the future, particularly with large classroom sizes of 20 or more.
Tutoring clubs can help a struggling student in a particular course with assignments and help them stay on pace with the rest of the class and not fall further behind.
In addition, tutoring clubs give tutors, who are high school students themselves, valuable work experience and help develop relationships with peer classmates as they interact with each other.
Talented classmates can inspire their fellow classmates to find a passion for learning.
These skills are valuable in the future work environment for students and their fellow student tutors.
