Mattecentrum
Mattecentrum tutors over 100,000 young people in math every month – for free. This is done in two ways: During tutoring sessions 50 times a week in 19 cities in Sweden and Denmark using 300 voluntary workers. Online on matteboken.se (in Swedish) and mathplanet.com (in English) one gets tutoring via video lessons (several million views), forums, theory, etc.
We are creating social change by helping those who cannot afford to buy private tutoring, we help those whose parents can’t help them and we help them who have no one else to turn to after school. 35% of our kids have immigrant background – a lot of people see us as one of few successful integration projects, maybe because we do not try we just treat everybody with respect.
