May FWS mathematics tutors help elementary through ninth-grade students in areas other than mathematics?
No. The interaction between tutors and students must be centered on mathematics topics. However, the context in which such tutoring occurs may be broader than a classroom setting. For example, programs designed to help elementary through ninth-grade students think of themselves as prospective college students often include an academic component, such as mathematics. Saturday or after-school programs, based in community settings, often include the use of mathematics in problem-solving challenges. In such cases, the FWS waiver for mathematics tutors may be applied.
