[Mathmajors] Fwd: Volunteer tutoring opportunity

[Brooke Miller]

>

> The NOVA Project, an alternative high school in the Seattle Public  

> School system, is looking for a few volunteer math tutors to hang  

> out with the kids for a couple of hours each week.  It's very  

> informal -- the students have a "math lounge" during certain hours  

> of the week where they can go and work on homework, and they're  

> looking for someone to be there to answer questions and offer  

> explanations. It's an unusual and interesting group of kids,  

> including many who are bright and highly motivated, and they're  

> expected to take a lot of responsibility for their own learning.  

> This might be a good opportunity to get some experience working one- 

> on-one with high school students.  We'll start scheduling hours  

> right after winter break.

>

> Nova is in the Meany Middle School building, 301 21st Ave E -- a  

> straight shot on the 43 or 48 bus.

> If you're interested, contact Jack Lee, lee at math.washington.edu.
