- Natalia Kogan, Maine East High School
- Bryan Leavitt, Glenbrook South High School
- Yagna Pathak, Niles West High School
- Alexandra Pedzinski, Niles North High School
- John Siy, Glenbrook South High School
High school juniors and seniors who complete AP Calculus and are interested in tutoring mathematics are selected to participate in the program. The program is limited to 15 participants each summer. Participants are paid for training and practicum and receive CRLA certification upon successful completion of training.
The Peer Tutor Training Program will be offered June 14 - July 29, 2004. Admission for the Program begins March 31, 2004, and continues until all seats are filled.
