The “Math Mania” tutoring program offered at Augusta-Richmond County Public Library’s headquarters on Telfair Street. About 15 tutors volunteer each week. Currently, 56 children come twice a week to be tutored, while more than 100 are on the waiting list for the Math Mania program. Each kid in Math Mania receives one-on-one tutoring for 50 minutes biweekly.
Although the program has only been offered for seven months, data has already proved the success of Math Mania.
“Grades and test scores have definitely improved,” Harris said. “There’s truly no end to how beneficial this program can be.”
