About MAPS
"With the proper support services, any student who is willing to succeed can be successful in mathematics" - MAPS Mission Statement
The MAPS Program serves a diverse group of students. Students are recruited from several Mission College programs, including EOPS, Access, Avanzar, and DISC. In addition, the program actively seeks to include students from those groups who have traditionally had poor success in basic skills and college math courses.
In addition to in-class tutoring, the program offers students group tutoring outside of class. Each week, approximately 10 hours of tutoring are offered at various times throughout the day and early evening. The tutors are trained to reinforce the methods and approach taught in regular class. For students interested in working with other students outside of class, study groups have also been formed. Whenever possible, a tutor also attends the study group to assist students with questions.
