Heart Math Tutoring was founded in Charlotte, NC through the collaboration and support of the community. Members of Social Venture Partners worked with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) and Communities In Schools (CIS) to design the original program, which is now supported by the volunteers and financial contributions of an expanding group of Community Partners.
Volunteer Partners
Thank you to all of our volunteer partners for encouraging their employees and members to become Heart Tutors, helping students build the strong foundation in math and enthusiasm for academics needed for long-term success!
