STRATEGIC MATH TUTORING (SMT)
Strategic Math Tutoring (SMT) was designed to address the growing need to increase or raise math grades of mentees and create independent, life-long learners through teaching students how to use resources to complete homework independently.
In addition, SMT aims to provide students with study skills and strategies that will improve their test-taking ability and increase their confidence/attitude towards mathematics. SMT targets 7th, 8th, and 9th grade mentees enrolled in Pre- Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry who made a C or lower in their last math course. Students meet with experienced and dedicated state certified math instructors twice per week during the school year.
Program Objectives:
● Increase student success (B or above) in math courses, raising their GPA.
● Encourage continued enrollment in recommended math courses for their grade level, resulting in better preparation for ACT test.
● Students confidence in mathematical concepts
