Multilingual Peer Tutor Training Activity

San Mateo High School's multilingual tutor training activity is designed to simulate a tutoring experience without a shared language. Tutors are paired with peers and must guide them through a mock assignment using only an unfamiliar language, relying on strategies such as visuals, gestures, and questioning techniques. This activity helps peer tutors build empathy by experiencing firsthand the challenges and cognitive demands multilingual learners face.
