Distance learning of university tutoring. Brief analysis of an experience

The paper focuses on peer training in the period of the pandemic in which even university tutoring took place remotely. The activated involvement and co-construction of the path allow students to feel an active and proactive part of their growth path by portraying them from the passive role that the DAD entails. Peer tutoring is proposed as a strategic educational device to improve the quality of learning processes. In addition, peer support can activate social, emotional, and methodological skills that are fundamental for students' academic career. After a brief examination of the distance peer-tutoring, the analysis of a tutoring experience carried out at the University of Palermo is presented in which it emerged the need to ask for the help of the tutor to reconnect with the university interrupted after the first lock-down in March 2020. The experience discussed has shown the achievement of good student results and an excellent degree of student satisfaction.
