"This is a rich resource for those interested in peer tutoring and a clear window into a specific type of peer work for those committed to deepening their understanding of the power of cooperation for learning. One thing that makes this book paticularly powerful is that each author’s work has been detailed, sustained, and extensive. A second is that the three authors speak about peer tutoring from the point of view of projects from three different cultural, social, and linguistic contexts." - Lynda Baloche, International Association for the Study of Cooperation in Education
