Have you ever developed a detailed plan and schedule and then have an unexpected positive result happen? Well, a milestone in our agile learning process called Realize Academic Success Through Tutoring (RASTT) schedule was the Winter Mid-term assessment testing, since we had just started tutoring in November, we thought it would be too early for an impactful result.
We guessed wrong!
Three of the original 5 children that started tutoring with MFCE improved their scores by an average of 30 points!!
We believe that through RASTT not only have we improved the mathematics skills of the children but have also built up their confidence in taking tests.
BUT, we are not satisfied. We want 100% positive growth from our children and the remainder of our schedule through late May 2024 is to teach testing skills, increase confidence building, continue to build on their grade-level mathematics foundation, and practice SOL type assessment categories.
We need your help!
A donation to MFCE will provide funding for programmatic costs associated with executing our plan to improve the mathematics and test taking skills and keep our goal of improved SOL Assessment scores on track.
These children are the first to ever miss significant in-class learning due to the pandemic and need our help to catch up.
The 2022/2023 Standards of Learning (SOL) scores showed in Math, two thirds of all 3rd through 8th graders (327,598 students) are at risk or failed the SOL Assessment.
MFCE is working to ensure we do not let the next generation of children fall behind academically, so our goal is to provide continuity in learning processes and provide a free tutoring program that affords children the extra academic support needed to catch up and become superstar students.
A donation in any amount is greatly appreciated. Please donate today!

Mr. Turner has worked as an educator for over a decade, first as a full-time Kaplan tutor before shifting into the public-school setting. Mr. Turner originally provided New York City public schools with SAT and ACT tutoring programs on behalf of Kaplan test prep. Since moving to Virginia Beach with his wife and daughter in 2015, Mr. Turner has taught, tutored, and coached students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. He has provided Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy to students with autism ranging in ages from 3-16. As a special education teacher with Norfolk Public Schools, he taught a group of 3rd and 4th grade students with Emotional Disabilities. Through the coordinated support of families, co-teachers, and supportive administration, his team of students (dubbed the “SuperDolphins”) achieved a collective SOL pass rate of over 80 percent. Mr. Turner currently works as a Special Education teacher at Green Run High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and believes strongly that relationship-building and play-based learning are the foundations of academic recovery and long-term success.
