It’s almost back-to-school time and we need to ADD dozens of math tutors to help students!

I’m writing in regards to the immediate need for math tutors to serve in Orosi and Fresno. California Math Corps, administered by AmeriCorps and Ampact, are seeking tutors in 13 different counties in California, namely Fresno and surrounding areas, including Orosi.

The Math Corps program works for students, with the evidence-based program providing assistance to more than 35,000 students nationwide. Math Corps found that their students were two times more likely to achieve math fact fluency and meet end-of-year math benchmarks.

No previous teaching experience is needed, as tutors will be fully-trained before entering the classroom and all math concepts are both easy to learn and teach. Tutors will serve on-site at a school 18, 25 or 35 hours a week. All tutors receive a stipend every two weeks, plus up to $4,500 in an education award to pay for college tuition or student loans. For tutors who are 55 or older, they may choose to gift their education award to a child, grandchild, step-child or foster child. Many tutors may also qualify for additional benefits such as free individual health insurance and childcare assistance.
