October 22, 2015

With the program now up and running in all eight schools, we are excited about the year ahead. Here’s a quick look at Heart Math Tutoring’s 2015-16 presence in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools:

• 390 students will receive tutoring for 30 minutes twice per week.
• 440 community members will be volunteer tutors, giving students foundational math skills and enthusiasm for academics through early May.

It takes a strong and large team to deliver high-quality one-on-one instruction to students who need it most. Heart has fantastic school partners, funders, volunteers, and staff. Let’s get this show on the road!
