The paper presents research on the relationship between different components and aspects of executive functions and the tutor’s behaviors and strategies used during peer tutoring. The research involved 23 pairs of six-year-old children. The tutors’ task was to teach their peers the rules of a board game. There was a signifi cant correlation between the level of the executive functions and the tutor’s behaviors and strategies which supported the student during the tutoring. Significant components of the executive functions included shifting attention, inhibition, working memory and the cool aspect of the executive functions. The tutors applying various strategies (Outside the role, Initiator, Partner, Coordinator) differed significantly in their levels of the executive functions, and especially in the planning component.
