(Miami-Dade County, FL) -- Commissioner Sally A. Heyman is encouraging residents to take advantage of the Miami-Dade Public Library System’s S.M.A.R.T. Program, which offers free homework assistance for students in grades K-12. S.M.A.R.T., short for Science, Math and Reading Tutoring, takes place every Saturday through May 15.
The hour-long tutoring sessions are offered each Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at all library branches with the exception of Model City, which offers the program on Wednesdays from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. The Miami Lakes, West Dade and West Kendall libraries also offer additional hours on Saturdays from 2:00 – 5:00 p.m. Tutoring is done in small groups, by carefully screened and experienced educators. Children are asked to bring textbooks, written assignments or any other materials they have questions about.
