Abstract The study entitled The Effectiveness of Peer Tutoring in Enhancing Reading Comprehension of Grade 9 Students aims to determine the effectiveness of using peer tutoring as a strategy or tool to enhance the reading comprehension of the Grade 9 Students of Samal National High School. The research study utilized an experimental research specifically using pretest-posttest design to investigate the topic. The primary data were collected from a sample of sixty (60) students using a researcher-made reading comprehension questionnaire that had been validated by a panel of experts. Statistical tools such as weighted mean, and t-test were applied to analyze and interpret the data. The results indicated that the ninth grade students achieved the required level of reading comprehension. The study revealed a significant difference in reading comprehension before and after the implementation of peer tutoring, supporting the notion that peer tutoring contributed to the improvement of reading comprehension. As a result, it is recommended to conduct similar studies with a broader understanding of strategies for enhancing reading comprehension, beyond the focus on peer tutoring that has been demonstrated to be effective. Future researchers should encompass a wider scope, different research locations, and additional factors that were not considered in the present study.
