More than 90 high school students gathered at The University of the West Indies recently to participate in the Reggae Jammin Mathematics Marathon, as part of preparations to sit their exams.
The full-day initiative offered guided tutoring sessions, interactive problem-solving activities and direct, practical support in an environment where students felt encouraged rather than overwhelmed.
“At Reggae Jammin, we believe in supporting young people both inside and outside of the classroom. The mathematics marathon was more than just a tutoring session. It was an opportunity to encourage students, build confidence and remind them that they are capable of achieving great things,” Navron Henry, brand manager for Reggae Jammin, was quoted as saying in a news release on Tuesday.
“We are proud to play a role in empowering the next generation through education,” Henry added.
Running the sessions was Demar Hemley, a mathematics tutor with more than a decade of experience. He is also the founder of Hemley’s Tutoring, launched in 2021 with a vision of expanding academic support across the Caribbean.
