Math Motivators
Pairing Students with Professionals
Math Motivators offers free in-person math tutoring to students in grades 5-12 who need and want tutoring but otherwise cannot afford it. The program uses a 2:1 model. Two students of similar ability are paired with one tutor with a strong mathematics background and helps students become proficient in math.
Mission possible.
The Math Motivators mission aligns with that of The Actuarial Foundation, aiming to harness the power of math education to transform futures through the expertise and resources of the actuarial community. The Foundation envisions a future where individuals gain confidence and opportunities through math proficiency. To support this vision, the program focuses on providing students with access to the resources and support they need to succeed, regardless of their circumstances or background.
