Volunteer Middle School MATH Tutors Needed In Brooklyn!!

Save to Favorites

Common Denominator (C/D), formerly Top Honors, is a non-profit educational organization that provides free math tutoring to NYC 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th-graders. Tutoring takes place on Saturdays and Wednesday evenings at a school in Downtown Brooklyn.

UPDATE: Since 03/28 we have offered virtual tutoring sessions. We are prepared to continue virtual tutoring through the fall. If you are interested, please reach out to us at volunteers@cdmath.org

New volunteer orientation and training sessions take place on a rolling basis. To receive an invitation, please submit an application at www.cdmath.org/volunteer. Frequently asked questions about the C/D volunteer experience can be found on our website.

All tutoring sessions take place at our Downtown Brooklyn location on the following days and times:

• Session 1: Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
• Session 2: Saturdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Volunteers may be professionals, advanced high school, college, or graduate students (community service credit is available). Applicants should be available on Saturdays for two hours starting at 10 a.m. or 1:00 p.m., like math, and enjoy working with students in the middle school age group (10-14 years).

If you're a functioning adult, you can do our level of math. For example, if you can calculate the tip on your dinner bill without a calculator, you're set. Can you convert a fraction to a decimal and think of a real life application of it? That's the kind of stuff that we do. If you're game, join us!

Prior experience is not required! Common Denominator provides basic training, curriculum, and materials. We're looking for role models to middle-schoolers. We find that kind, patient, and enthusiastic volunteers match well with our student population. Come join our volunteer family!

A note on volunteer commitment:

Tutors attend on average 3-4 Saturdays per month from October and May, which includes holidays and school breaks.

To apply, submit an online application at www.cdmath.org/volunteer. Upon receipt, Common Denominator will contact the candidate directly with an invitation to attend the next training.
