tutoring

The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) continues the statewide virtual tutoring initiative. The Oklahoma Math Tutoring Corps will provide students in grades 79 with real-time, virtual tutoring support from live tutors beginning on October 6, 2024. Participating students will meet virtually with a tutor for 50 minutes three times a week over ten weeks. All tutoring will occur outside of school hours. The Math Tutoring Corps aims to give students opportunities for individualized, targeted learning of math processes and practice needed for success in their current and future math coursework.

If you wish to enroll your student in Math Tutoring, please sign up here. Tutors will be certified teachers who have received training for this initiative. The OSDE will try to group tutors and students from the same geographical area. Each tutor will work with up to four students to provide focused and consistent attention to your student. Students will remain together with the same tutor throughout the ten weeks. Families and guardians will be copied on all communication from the tutor to the student.

The OSDE is asking participating students and families to agree to the following: • Student will attend at least 80% of the 30 tutoring sessions. • Student will have a quiet place to join the sessions virtually. • Student will actively participate with the tutor during tutoring sessions. Once the OSDE receives your information, they will work with you to determine any technology needs to ensure your student can participate successfully.

If you have questions about this program, contact Shanda Finnell, Administrative Assistant (Shanda.finnell@sde.ok.gov). If you would like for your student to participate, fill out this form to participate. The Math Tutoring Corps has the potential to strengthen math skills quickly, equipping students for long-term success in math coursework. The OSDE hopes you will join them in this important work.
