Abstract
Conversation is the essence of peer tutoring. We mean this statement in a radical sense. Conversation -the form of communication we use for tutoring sessions -should structure all aspects of a peer tutoring program, from tutor training to administration. Our insistence upon dialogue as the underlying structure of a peer tutoring program comes from an even more fundamental conviction that true education consists of dialogue. [ 1 ] Where dialogue is lacking, information may be transferred, but little is learned.
