89-year-old math tutor’s virtual lessons reach students around the world
Delores Spencer has been a math teacher in Hampton, Virginia for more than 70 years still continues to tutor students around the world for free through Facebook Live at the age 89. During the pandemic while students transitioned to learning from home Spencer decided to help students, specially Math.
“It’s been a wonderful experience to reach out to so many people,” Spencer told WTKR. “If I teach you how to do it, you can do it just as well as I can. It’s so great when you see the light come on in their mind [and] they say, ‘Oh!’ And that’s [when] they got it.”
Since 2020 Spencer has been tutoring ‘Math Made Simple’ live on her Facebook page every Tuesday night for free. “My thing is emphasizing and understanding the concepts because that’s what transferable when you go to another level,” Spencer said.
Since then students from the United States and other countries have been watching her tutoring sessions.
Spencer says she has no plans of retiring soon as she continues tutoring and helping more students
“As long as I can do this — as long as it’s helping — I’m really willing to do this” she said.
