Exponential Education Information

Exponential Education (Expo) works to build a world where each student has equal access and opportunity to academic success. In Ghana, only 16% of sixth grade students are proficient in Math and only 35% are proficient in English (2011 Ghanaian National Education Assessment). At Exponential Education, we strive to provide our students with an opportunity for a brighter future! How does it work? Exponential Education’s flagship Peer to Peer after school program (Expo P2P) matches high-achieving senior high school (SHS) students with struggling junior high school (JHS) students to provide free tutoring in Math and English. For each program, five high school students provide tutoring to 30 junior high school students. Our organization runs approximately 15 programs per school year, reaching over 450 students! Over the course of 10 weeks, Expo’s JHS students improve, on average, over 100% in math and 80% in English from baseline to final exam. To date, Expo has implemented about 60 programs, provided 300 SHS tutors with tuition assistance, awarded 60 scholarships, and given free tutoring in math & English to over 1500 JHS students. Since launching, Expo has reached more than 2000 children!
