America Counts, an initiative of the Math Department, is inviting volunteers or Federal Work Study students to tutor Baltimore City middle school students 1:1 in basic math. We have opportunities at 4 middle schools and a facility of the Department of Juvenile Services. Students who have done this in the past describe it as a ?win-win?.
You don?t need to be a math whiz; successful completion of a University level math course or an adequate math SAT score is all that is needed?along with lots of enthusiasm and a commitment to tutor several hours once a week for the rest of the semester. You need to be dependable and responsible. The kids love you, look up to you and learn math?and the university really appreciates what you do.
Orientation and training will be held in room 106 at 7800 York Road on Saturday February 10, 2007 from 9:00am until 2:00pm. Food, including lunch, will be provided, school sign ups will take place and car pools arranged. Tutoring takes place every school day between 8:00am and 4:00pm. You choose your hours and arrange transportation with other tutors.
For further information and to sign up please contact Doris Cowl, Program Director, at (410)704-4998 or dcowl@towson.edu
THIS IS A SECOND CHANCE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN’T RESPOND LAST WEEK AND WANT TO JOIN US IN TUTORING.
