Math Tutor

Save to Favorites

As a Math Tutor your goal is to support your pod of students in the successful completion of their homework while motivating them towards their highest level of academic performance. Along with a team of other Academic Coaches, Mentors and tutors, you will work independently with a group of three to five elementary school students to develop their positive academic self-identity. The Math Tutor also challenges the TVM scholar to think about his or her personal and/or professional goals in order to relate them to his or her academic/educational goals. In this learning process, it is important to encourage the students to become more self-aware by understanding his or her strengths, values, interests, purpose, and passion. This process should also focus on the student developing necessary skills to be responsible for his or her actions and decisions.

Students will see you as a mentor/friend, families will praise you for helping them and their child, and TVM will share in this effort to increase the probability of youth staying on a college pathway by 9th grade and college bound after high school graduation.
