Math is FUNdamental

This District 65 math tutoring program was created to support 1st grade students who might benefit from a little extra math skills practice. By playing simple math games with the students (all materials provided), tutors will help students practice fundamental, age-appropriate math facts that will help increase students’ growth in mathematical achievement.

How and When Can I Help? As a trained volunteer, you support one teacher by meeting with 1 to 2 students to play games (materials provided) 1-2 times per week for 20-30 minutes at a time. Tutors volunteer at all 12 elementary and magnet schools, from October through May, during school hours (9am to 3:30pm).

Training Sessions

  • All training sessions will be at the JEH Center, 1500 McDaniel, Evanston, IL 60201.

  • New tutors: All new volunteers must attend one training session. Training sessions are usually no more than 90 minutes long and will be in person. At the training session, volunteers will gain an understanding of the method used by tutors to support each student's math skills. New tutors must also complete a background check with the school district. (see below).
