Pre-GED Math Tutoring at X-Cel Adult Education (BEST Corp)

X-Cel, Inc. Adult Education was founded in 2000 by two adult educators with the vision of providing quality adult education services to residents of Greater Boston. X-Cel’s mission is to make high school completion and college-level study more accessible to low-income adults in Greater Boston, by providing flexible customized instruction at no cost in convenient community locations.

Try your hand at teaching. Join X-Cel for an evening of tutoring adults from all different cultures and levels of math proficiency. If you graduated from high school, you already have the knowledge to teach these eager-to-learn adults. No previous teaching experience necessary.

What Boston Cares members have to say about GED math tutoring at X-Cel:

"The event was put together really well. I had the opportunity to really help out students seeking help in math. All of the other volunteers were very nice and helped me get started, as this was my first time there." ~Sudip Dhingra

"Knowledge is power, and every time I tutor at X-Cel education I’m inspired as I watch motivated people from all walks of life empowering themselves. This is a very unique program: the students are committed—they want to be there—and they learn at their own pace, which means that tutors are important enablers. I will definitely continue to volunteer here." ~John Mayer

“I had never done math tutoring, but this project was AMAZING! Even though I haven't taken a math class in over 12 years, it all came back to me. It was a truly rewarding experience, and I'm so glad I did it. At the end of the evening, the woman with whom I was working asked me if I would be coming back next week because she told me she learned something from me and would like to work with me again. Wow! “ ~Sarah Rocha
