Homework Hotline Educator Survey 

 

We are very excited to report that Harvey Mudd College students tutored 3,892 students during the 2012-2013 academic year. Mathematics tutoring made up 84.6% of calls (Algebra 1 was the top subject), and 12.3% of the calls were for science tutoring, with chemistry as the top subject. Returning callers made up 70.9% of student callers.

Our call volume and high percentage of returning callers provide one piece of evidence to the success of Homework Hotline. The numerous testimonials of student callers provide another piece of evidence. Please take a moment to read some of our student-caller feedback.

Besides student feedback, we also encourage our educators who work directly with our students to provide feedback. In the next two weeks, Homework Hotline will mail educator surveys to our Pomona Unified School District and Claremont School District schools. Please take a minute to complete the educator survey and mail it back. Completing the survey is voluntary, and the survey feedback is anonymous. All educators (counselors, teachers, principals) are encouraged to provide feedback. If you prefer, you can complete the online survey.

Contingent upon funding, our opening evening for fall 2013 is Sunday, Sept. 8, at 6 p.m.

We wish you a wonderful summer break.
