Apply Peers Tutors to Improve Mathematical Ability

For some student’s mathematics is a fun lesson, some other students think if math is a less fun lesson. A class usually consists of students with heterogeneous ability, some students with more or less ability but the teaching services provided by teachers are more homogeneous. This can cause problems if students who have barriers in learning do not get educational services that match their learning needs. This study aims to formulate a learning program that can be applied by teachers to students with heterogeneous ability but more priority on students whose ability to understand lessons slower than their classmates. The method used in this study is a mixed method with exploratory sequential design, the result there are three students who have difficulty in following the learning of mathematics. The alignment program is organized by involving peers as a tutor for the three students. Based on the results of the study seen some students have increased understanding of the material delivered. Thus, applying peer tutors to students with math difficulty can help improve students' understanding.
