America Counts Offers Free Math Tutoring
In conjunction with Fairmont State GEAR UP, America Counts offers free math tutoring
for students in grades five through 10 who are experiencing math difficulties. The
fall program begins Sept. 30 on the Fairmont State University and Pierpont Community
& Technical College main campus.
The program is supervised by Pam Kabulski and coordinated by Donna Yergovich Nuzum.
The program is structured to emphasize math homework difficulties and / or specific
math difficulties.
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 Sept.
30- Oct. 1 and runs through the week of Nov. 19-20.
Fairmont State tutors, proficient in math, aid children in developing their math skills.

from their tutors," Kabulski said.
