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
