Ameritas, The Actuarial Foundation partner on math tutoring

Ameritas is proud to partner with Math Motivators, a tutoring program from the Actuarial Foundation that sees students receive personalized instruction to help boost their skills in the subject.

Ameritas has awarded the Actuarial Foundation’s Math Motivators more than $16,000 to date and has associates volunteer their time with the program. Sam Futterman, Ameritas senior actuarial associate—corporate actuarial, says he volunteers because it’s a welcoming program and is flexible with his schedule.

“Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was regularly contacted by my local Math Motivators representatives with opportunities to volunteer both in-person and remote. In addition to in-person volunteering, I’ve remotely volunteered with schools in Colorado and Minnesota. I think it’s incredible how committed Math Motivators is to helping students, no matter the obstacles,” said Futterman.

Futterman says volunteering with the program is important because it helps students succeed in the classroom and beyond. The goal of Math Motivators is to help students not only while they’re in high school, but prepare them for college and college entrance exams.
