About Heart Math Tutoring

Our nation and children are missing out on significant potential when just 36% of fourth graders in the U.S. meet grade level expectations in math (2024 NAEP). Tutoring has been proven to have significant positive effects on student outcomes, but few programs exist focused on elementary math. Heart Math Tutoring (“HMT” or "Heart") is a nonprofit based in Charlotte, NC with a mission of ensuring all elementary students develop the strong foundation in math and enthusiasm for academics needed for long-term success. Heart gives young students successful experiences in math through 1:1 tutoring during the school day, delivered by supervised volunteers. Since 2013, Heart has grown to support 1,500+ students across 33 schools in Charlotte, NC, Charleston, SC, and Winston-Salem, NC, while maintaining high-quality student outcomes.
