The Math Tutor supports students’ academic growth while also serving as a positive, engaging mentor. The Tutor helps make math approachable, encouraging, and fun. When academic support is not in session, the Tutor actively engages with students through games, conversations, and enrichment activities, building strong relationships, boosting confidence, and creating a welcoming space where youth feel supported and motivated to learn. Tutors may also take on leadership responsibilities, support junior staff, and contribute ideas that enhance program activities and student engagement.
