In Pakistan, teachers normally prefer to deliver their lectures by following the lecture method as they have to teach a great number of students in a classroom. This particular situation makes it impossible to pay full attention to students’ individual needs. Such circumstances demand the implication of such learning activities that provide a platform for class discussion and group assignments. This thing can be possible by utilizing one of the innovative teaching methodologies that is peer tutoring. Which allows students to learn from their fellow students without any restriction or hesitation, specifically within a classroom. The current study was carried out to find out the effect of peer tutoring on students’ social intelligence by employing a quasi-experimental method. All the participants of the study were females. The social intelligence of students before and after the intervention was measured through Social Intelligence Inventory (SII) developed by Lacanlale (2013). The results reflected that at the time of the pre-test, no significant mean difference was observed among participants. But, on the other hand, participants of the experimental group were become socially intelligent after learning through peer tutoring. Considering these results it is recommended that university authorities should promote the implementation of such teaching methodologies that promote socialization among students to boost their confidence, which would be very supportive for shy students to work in diverse conditions in their practical life.
