Math Tutoring Offered for 5th-8th Graders

In conjunction with Fairmont State GEAR UP, the America/Fairmont State Counts program is planning for its fall session to be held at the main Fairmont State campus. The free math tutoring program is offered to fifth- through eighth-graders who are experiencing math difficulties.

The program is supervised by Pam Kabulski and coordinated by Donna Yergovich Nuzum. The one hour/once a week sessions, which run for eight weeks, are offered Wednesdays at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. or Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. The program starts the week of Sept. 25 and runs through the week of Nov. 13.

Fairmont State tutors, who are proficient in math, aid each child in developing his/her math skills. Kabulski, a Marion County math teacher, is the on-site supervisor for the program and will be present to assist each tutor and student.

"The students who participate benefit greatly from the small group instruction and support they receive from their tutors," Kabulski said.
