The Peer Support and Tutoring Club

NOTE: Information indicated here are tentative. There may be a few changes later on.

There are 15 members (ten boys and five girls) of this school year’s peer support and tutoring club of Midorioka High School. All fifteen of them were openly admitted to the elite Takahoshi High School after Midorioka High was burned down to the ground. The entire club are temporary Takahoshi High students until the rebuilding of Midorioka High is completed. The peer support and tutoring club is there to provide academic tutoring and peer counseling to their fellow students in their school, which Takahoshi High seriously needs to further educate their high-profile students in terms of social and interpersonal skills, in addition to their academics, especially that majority of them have booked schedules with their showbiz schedules and other non-academic venues.

TUTORS: Introductory Notes

The Story Before the Beginning…

Though a very small and very low key to the general public, what also sets Midorioka High from the rest of the other high-ranking public high schools was its award-winning peer support club, where members of the club take some time off, an hour or two, after school to help and aid fellow students who are in trouble academically and even with their ongoing personal problems at home, from family to peer pressure to even dealing with young love. The parents of students who joined the school’s peer support program highly praised the student tutors of the club that they demanded the school board to encourage more students to fund the club so they would be able to purchase the latest technology that the club needs for their tutoring program as well as the rest of their programs. Eventually, the community and even outside corporate sponsors began funding the peer support club through donations that the school board even had enough funds to build its own building in the Midorioka High School campus specifically for the club.
