As you start to peer review, you’ll see that you have a “level” as a peer reviewer. This level is not determined by the number of peer reviews you do, but the consistency and quality of your peer reviews (as described in ) Here’s more about how this works!
What do peer reviewer levels mean?
How can I improve and level up?
You’ll increase your level by consistently providing tutors with encouraging, actionable, high-quality feedback. Not sure what that means? Please check out Here’s my advice for increasing your peer reviewer level:
Build up your tutoring skills and strategies. Run tutoring sessions, listen to feedback from your learners and peers, and do the to pick up more tools and strategies you can share with other tutors. Combining these practices with self-reflection and openness to learn, you’ll develop the core tutoring skills it takes to become an excellent peer reviewer, all while helping dozens of learners and tutors. Listen carefully to any feedback you get about your peer reviews. If you’re not sure what they mean or if you’re not sure you agree with their assessment, talk to them about it. Peer review sessions consistently. If you aim to review 2-5 sessions a week, you’ll build up skills while allowing time for advanced peer reviewers to give you feedback on those reviews so you can improve. Learn how to use your session reviewing time effectively. We recommend conducting all peer reviews in under 30 minutes, and this is also the max time you can track for an in your volunteer hours tracker. It takes practice to use this time effectively, focusing in on the parts of the session that provide the most signal for each dimension of the rubric. Some tips: Watch at at least 1.5x speed Focus on the beginning of the recording, for as long as it takes for you to understand the direction of the session. Watch a good chunk of the first problem/explanation that the tutor gives—this will give you an indication for both mastery and for many dimensions of active learning. Then watch one or two more sections of the recording, as well as the end. Take notes as you watch the recording—either directly in the session feedback form, or on a separate notes app.
