This study investigated the effect of Peer Tutoring and Students-teacher Interaction on senior secondary school students’ academic performance in English Grammar in Uruan LGA of Akwa Ibom State Based on Gender. The population of the study was sixteen thousand and forty-one students while two thousand, three hundred and eighty students comprised the sample size drawn using stratified sampling technique. One objective, one research question and one hypothesis guided the study. The instrument for the study was a researcher made questionnaire with 15 items titled “Peer Tutoring and Students-teacher Interaction Questionnaire (PTSTIQ). Test-retest approach was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument. The data collected were analysed using analyzed with Guttman Split-half Coefficient and the reliability index of 0.88 was obtained which is high enough to consider the instrument reliable. The research question was analyzed with mean and standard deviation while the null hypothesis was tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). The study concludes that peer tutoring helps students to learn without stress and at their own pace; ably guided by the classroom teacher. The study recommends that government of Akwa Ibom State, through the school board, should periodically send teachers to training that will enhance their instructional delivery strategies.
