Application

Match Education is on the forefront of education reform and is replicating the Match Charter Public School's full-time, in-school, professional tutoring corps in other schools and districts across America.  

The Lawrence Public School District is our first partner. Our Fellows work with 600 students, all in grades 9 and 10, in two high schools (Business Management and Finance, and International High School). This elite tutor corps plays a significant role in transforming these chronically failing high schools, by driving student achievement through individualized instruction. 

Our fellows in Lawrence focus on math only (mostly algebra and geometry) and work during the school day with two students at a time for five periods a day. Each fellow has a personal caseload of 12 students all year long and builds personal and meaningful relationships with these students and their families.

Tutor Responsibilities

Fellows guarantee the academic success of students by focusing intently on individualizing instruction and building personal and meaningful relationships with their students. They will receive all instructional materials, developed by a site-specific curriculum writer, with close alignment to state standards, assessments, and instruction particular to the school. The curriculum writer will preview all materials with Fellows the week prior to its delivery to students, to answer specific questions.

1. Fellows tutor in math only.
2. Fellows contact families each week about student progress. This communication forges trust, creates relationships and keeps parents aware of the successes and needs of their children.
3. Every site has a coordinator who is responsible for observing, training and assisting Fellows through the entire year. Fellows will be observed regularly and must be hungry for feedback.
