About the Organization : Heart Math Tutoring (“Heart”)
Heart is a Tier II math intervention program used in high-poverty elementary schools with a mission of ensuring that all elementary students develop the strong foundation in math and enthusiasm for academics needed for long term success. Students in Charlotte lacking financial resources for private tutoring are often not performing on grade level in math. Volunteer tutors are a powerful resource for addressing this, if given the right tools and support.
The program became a 501c3 nonprofit in July 2014 and is supporting over 1,100 weekly volunteer tutors who serve 1,100 students across twenty-three school sites. To date, 97% of Heart students have met program growth goals in math, and over 90% of teachers report that students show an increase in enthusiasm and / or confidence towards academics as a result of the program.
