Tutors are also trained and supported to conduct quick and easy math assessments, and enter the student data into an online data system each week. Tutors will review student data on a regular basis with their internal coach to monitor the progress of each student, and to know if they need to change their tutoring to better meet each student’s needs. Tutors will maintain confidentiality of all student data.
Tutors will attend required Math Corps sponsored trainings to learn the Mathematics strategies, and will receive the support of a coach in order to implement the strategies successfully.
