The quality and effectiveness of students' mathematical explanations as a function of the ability of the tutor were studied with dyads from 20 classrooms (60 students) in which students had been practicing peer tutoring for 23 weeks. Tutees of high-achieving peer tutors offered better explanations. (SLD)
