style and level of understanding
· Provides a learning environment free of competition,
   
so that students can progress at their own pace

· Clarifies and solidifies material learned in class
· Helps students prepare for tests and long-term projects
· Aids in the development of study skills and routines




Social

· Provides emotional support and positive role models
