I like having the tutoring program in my school My tutor makes learning fun I can learn everything in math if I work hard My tutor talks to me about my work to help me understand my mistakes The tutoring work we do is interesting My tutor wants me to explain my answers “My tutor is nice and helps me learn new things. He was kind and i want him again as my tutor because he helps in math. Now I’m smart in math because he teaches me some things i did not know. That’s why i got a higher GRADE in math like 10*5=50 I know that now. i am smart now and I thank you for being my tutor. Thank you very much. I am so smart i got an F and i turned my F INTO A B. i am so happy that he had me as a fifth grader.”

  • Walbridge student

“I think having the math tutoring program is good because students that are not good in math like me need more help...i don’t understand some of the stuff i learn in math class but when i come to [tutor]’s class she explains everything and i understand more.”

  • Roosevelt student

“[tutor] is a very good math teacher who I respect and trust. With his help I can be the best math student and achieve all my mathematical goals.”
