　　[2]Peer tutors get communication and social skills by tutoring．In order to communicate the meaning of material clearly and make it understood, they must practice the necessary skills to communicate with other people．These skills also carry over socially as it's much easier, especially for shy children to communicate with someone than to communicate with a large group as in a classroom．It's common for the tutor and his student to become friends．Developing leadership skills, confidence and a sense of responsibility is easy for a tutor．The tutor becomes a better student, gains more confidence and understands the teacher's role better．

　　[3]Those ________ can also benefit greatly from peer tutoring．Since the tutors are of the same age as the students, it's more comfortable for the children who have trouble with the material and in need of help to get taught by the same age tutors．This will allow them to ask more questions without fear and to come to a better understanding of the material．The tutor may be able to pass on little tips and tricks that helped him understand the material better．
