The purpose of the Virtual Peer Tutoring (VPT) program is to create a positive, future-ready student community support space in order to engage students in their own active learning, engage tutors in meaningful service learning, and to be a positive bridge between schools and communities. The VPT program has been structured to connect VBCPS students with a network of trained peers who can support their learning in a variety of selected courses. Virtual tutors provide an extra layer of academic support for students by reviewing critical concepts and materials from class, clarifying points of confusion, and developing study strategies for upcoming assessments. The long-term goal is for the VPT program is to be student driven and student led. The need and interest in this program skyrocketed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and was a much-needed support for our virtual students.
