I’m not sure why everyone seems to dislike this type of program so much. I was a student pulling over a 3.5 in my classes back when I was an undergrad at a “top college,” yet I found these sort of peer tutoring sessions to be fantastic. All through high school I was a strong math student, yet I found sessions such as these (in addition to recitations, office hours, and peer study groups) invaluable in helping me master the material instead of just learning enough to get by. To me, it was certainly worth the cost of having a grad student in a room for a few hours a week, as it was to all my friends from my study group.
