Jonathan Law’s Math Support Center is up and running for another school year. Students can come to the Support Center and get any help they need during their study halls. In Support Center, Mr. Ruzbarsky, along with the rest of the math staff, continues to help students understand math concepts during his free periods. Advocate Social Media Editor Maya Markowitz interviewed Ruzbarsky about the Support Center. 

Maya Markowitz: What is the purpose of the Math Support Center? 

Mr. Ruzbarsky: The purpose of the Math Support Center is to help all students with math and to help strengthen their math skills and concepts even across classes such as science, computer science, and others.

MM: What are some ways that students can take advantage of the Support Center other than their math class? 

MR: We can help students with their work on homework, classwork, or even extra practice and even other subjects.

MM: When can students use the Support Center? 

MR: The Support Center is staffed by a teacher every period of the day and students can drop in during their study halls for however long they would like.

MM: What periods can they use it? Are there any after school options? 

MR: Students can come down during their study halls and even lunch period for help. We just started a peer tutoring program after school through all of the honor societies that takes place after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-3 p.m. 

MM: Do you enjoy teaching in the Support Center rather than the typical classroom? 

MR: I love teaching both equally but in the Support Center because we can chat informally and for however long a student needs so that they can fully understand the concepts and skills they need.
