America Counts at UNC Charlotte

UNC Charlotte’s America Counts program is an extension of the College of Education’s commitment to students, teachers and families in Charlotte, NC and surrounding communities. UNC Charlotte students, who are trained by faculty from the Department of Reading & Elementary Education, tutor students in area elementary schools. Tutors are paid from Federal Work-Study funds which helps them pay for tuition, books and living expenses.

America Counts tutors work with elementary and middle-level students on a range of math skills. Tutors typically work one-on-one with students to improve their learning of mathematical concepts. We at UNC Charlotte are committed to the success of the America Counts. We provide:

• Initial training for tutors

• Ongoing support and training as well as onsite help when needed

• Communication with school partners with a goal of providing consistent and relevant support for students
