Tutoring incentives

Effort gets celebrated here.

Students need to see that their hard work counts. Our incentive system rewards the habits that build math skill: showing up, trying hard, and growing.

Assess

A friendly diagnostic finds exactly where each student is and sets a personal growth goal.

Tutor

Targeted sessions close gaps and build fluency, using proven strategies and the G.R.I.T. mindset.

Earn

Points for attendance, effort, homework, mastery checks and growth, not just top scores.

Celebrate

Students level up with certificates, recognition events, school supplies and family celebrations.

R

Rising Star

Level 1

First goals met. Welcome certificate and a spot on the Rising Star wall.

G

Grower

Level 2

Steady attendance and measurable growth. Supply kit and family shout-out.

S

Scholar

Level 3

Mastery of grade-level skills. Scholar medal and recognition-night honors.

M

Math Mentor

Level 4

Ready to lead. Students become peer tutors and earn leadership credit.

The mentoring program

A tutor teaches the math. A mentor helps a student believe in themselves.

“Every student has a starlight moment.”

Dr. India White

Our founder was homeless at sixteen. Mentors, teachers and a youth shelter in Sarasota helped her become a Gates Scholar, a first-generation college graduate, and a three-time University of Florida graduate. T.I.M.P. exists to be that support for the next student.

Every student in tutoring can be matched with a trained mentor who meets with them regularly, virtually or at school, and follows the G.R.I.T. framework: Grow, Resilience, Integrity, Tenacity.
