FORT WORTH, TX - As demand for STEM professionals continues to surge across the United States, Math Around the Corner is helping Fort Worth students build the foundational skills needed for tomorrow's highest-paying careers through personalized math and science tutoring programs. The locally-owned tutoring company has supported over 400 students since 2006, with 98% of students attending weekly sessions passing their courses with As or Bs.
Math and Science Tutors Addressing the STEM Education Gap
STEM occupations are projected to grow 8.1% from 2024 to 2034, more than double the 3.1% growth rate for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, many students across the DFW metroplex struggle to develop the math and science proficiency required for these career paths.
Math Around the Corner addresses this challenge by providing personalized, one-on-one tutoring that adapts to each student's learning style and pace. The company serves students from kindergarten through college, offering support in mathematics (from basic arithmetic through differential equations), sciences, and test preparation for standardized exams, including the SAT and ACT.
Local Impact Through Personalized Education
Founded by Carol Bearden while she was a graduate student at Texas Christian University, Math Around the Corner began with a single sixth-grade student struggling in mathematics. After watching that student's average climb from failing to an A and witnessing the confidence transformation that accompanied the grade improvement, Bearden expanded the service to meet growing demand across Fort Worth.
The company's boutique approach differentiates it from national tutoring chains. Math and science tutors are carefully matched to students based on learning style and personality fit, creating supportive relationships that extend beyond content delivery to mentorship. This personalized attention proves particularly valuable for students who have developed anxiety around STEM subjects.
Building STEM Career Pathways Early
Research from the National Bureau of Economic Research demonstrates that students who receive high-quality tutoring show learning gains equivalent to three to five additional months of instruction. These gains compound over time, influencing course selection in high school, college major choices, and ultimately career opportunities.
Math Around the Corner's STEM learning strategies focus on building conceptual understanding rather than memorization. A tutor for maths and science helps students identify exactly where their understanding breaks down, then rebuilds the foundation before introducing new material. This approach prevents small knowledge gaps from becoming major obstacles as coursework advances.
STEM Learning Programs: Serving the DFW Metroplex
Math Around the Corner serves families throughout the DFW metroplex through both in-home and virtual tutoring options. The company's extended hours (9 AM to 10 PM weekdays, 9 AM to 5 PM Saturdays, and 12 PM to 8 PM Sundays) accommodate families with busy schedules filled with extracurricular activities.
Virtual tutoring options have expanded access for Dallas-area families and those preferring the convenience of online private sessions. Students receive the same personalized attention through video sessions that they would experience with in-home tutoring.
Extensive Subject Support
Beyond mathematics, Math Around the Corner provides tutoring in multiple sciences, English language arts, foreign languages (Spanish, French, Latin, German, Japanese, and Chinese), and social sciences. This breadth allows students to receive coordinated support across multiple subjects from a single trusted provider.
The company's STEM learning programs emphasize developing analytical thinking, problem-solving persistence, and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world situations. These competencies serve students throughout their academic careers and into professional life, regardless of their ultimate career path.
