Abstract

Nowadays peer tutoring is an important strategy in university guidance aimed to facilitate
the adaptation and promotion processes of first year students. One basic precondition for
the development of this strategy is the training of students in the last two years of their
university studies that will advise novel students as fellow tutors. In this article we analize
the conceptions and expectations about their guidance role of students in the training
process, in their theoretical and practical facets, and we present a first evaluation of the
Training Program of fellow tutors.
