About Count UP

Count UP is a free after-school math tutoring program for K-12 students in Central Arkansas. Through this program, created by the Central Arkansas Library System and supported by an ESSER grant, experienced tutors are matched with students to provide personalized support and guidance. Our program offers one-on-one tutoring tailored to students, both for assistance with math homework and more intensive work on building math skills.

Count UP aims to establish and nurture a diverse and mutually supportive community of K-12 students and tutors who achieve mathematics growth and are empowered to explore and pursue their academic and personal goals.
