Math multiplies a student’s future opportunities.
Math is important in school and beyond. Proficiency is linked to high school graduation, college enrollment, and even lifetime earnings! But in the United States 72% of students reach the 8th grade without learning to do essential math proficiently.
Together, we can change this! The amazing thing about Math Corps is that we train ordinary people to make an incredible impact providing math tutoring to students. Math Corps is one of the most effective and efficient math tutoring programs in the country.

Math Tutoring, An Equation for Success
Students who are ready for algebra by the end of 8th grade are much more likely to excel in school and in their future careers. To reach the most students possible, Math Corps is designed to support America’s schools through high-impact tutoring methods.
In 2024, Math Corps was awarded the NSSA (National Student Support Accelerator) Tutoring Program Badge after receiving an evidence-based review. Our math tutoring program was also recognized as having the highest level of evidence by Evidence for ESSA, and strong evidence of effectiveness by What Works Clearinghouse.

K-3 Math Initiative
We’re committed to continuous improvement. Our programs are unique because we’re always adapting for the best results. Out of that research and evaluation comes new initiatives to provide a specific solution for a growing need. Like our K-3 Math Initiative.
Researchers can predict a student’s high school trajectory based on math skills measured over 10 years prior. This is why it is so important to build strong math skills as early as possible. After hearing the need for earlier investment in math education, we’ve designed an initiative supporting students in kindergarten through third grade.
The goal of our new K-3 Math initiative is that students will receive evidence-based math support and stay on the trajectory to pursue STEM programming and careers. The K-3 Math Initiative is currently being studied at sites in Minnesota and Georgia. View the K-3 Math Tutor Position Description.
