America Counts Offers Math Tutoring
In conjunction with Fairmont State GEAR UP, the America Counts free math tutoring
program supervised by Pam Kabulski and coordinated by Donna Yergovich Nuzum, is planning
for its spring session to be held at Fairmont State University. The program is offered
to students in fifth through ninth grades who are experiencing math difficulties.
The one hour/once a week sessions, which run for eight weeks, are offered Tuesdays
at 5 p.m. or 6 p.m. OR Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. The program starts Feb.
19 and 20 and runs through the week of April 15 and 16. The program is structured
to emphasize math homework difficulties and/or specific math difficulties.
Fairmont State tutors, proficient in math, aid children in developing their math
skills. Kabulski, a Marion County math teacher and the on-site supervisor, will be
present to assist each tutor and student. "The students benefit greatly from the small
group instruction and support they receive from their tutors," she said.
Pre-registration is necessary for students to attend the program. To register a student,
call (304) 367-4579 (and leave information on the voice mail) or e-mail nwoodson@fairmontstate.edu. Those registering are asked to submit the following information: student's name
(please spell if calling); student's grade; day and time desired for tutoring; parent/guardian
name (please spell if calling); and phone number.
Students are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. There are limited slots
available.
