Tutor Commitments

Commit to 10 months

• The service term runs from August 24 - May 31, 2022.
• After we hire and train a tutor for a school, we rely on that tutor for the whole term of service– no substitutes or replacements. 

Serve 675 hours

• Members serving 675 hours = 20 hours per week (several schedule options may be available including 5 days a week for 4 hours a day, 4 days a week for 5 hours a day, or 3 days a week for 6.5 hours a day) for a minimum total of 675 hours.
• Nearly all these hours are accrued during typical school-day hours.

Serve DAILY in a school setting

• To ensure fidelity Math Corps tutors need to meet with their students every day of the school week during normal school hours.
• A consistent schedule throughout the year is required so that student's tutoring schedules are consistent.

Participate in professional training

• All tutors are required to complete training including the 3-day Math Corps Institute + two additional days of training in the fall.

Engage in your community

• Math Corps tutors spend their year viewing their community through the lens of service. They seize opportunities to be involved with community-based service activities, such as volunteering at a library and getting involved on the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.
