What if the key to student success isn’t more grading... but more collaboration?

In this episode, we meet two CEGEP teachers who are giving tutoring a major glow-up. Becky McKnight from Cégep St-Jean is piloting a bold new program that places paid tutors inside the ESL classroom, offering real-time support and creating a dynamic new role somewhere between peer and TA.

Then, we welcome back Joy Blake from Cégep de Granby, who shares her innovative for-credit tutoring course, where advanced students earn credits while mentoring those in lower levels. The result? Happier students, more empowered tutors—and waiting lists to get in.

We talk program design, admin buy-in, budget models, and the magic that happens when educators think outside the box—and trust students to rise.

🎧 Whether you're looking to revamp your own tutoring system or just need a little inspiration, this episode is packed with practical ideas and a whole lot of heart.
