Delores Spencer, an 88-year-old math instructor in Hampton, Virginia, still tutors students worldwide for free via Facebook Live at the age of 88!

Students were forced to learn from home during the pandemic, and many struggled to grasp the material. Spencer decided to step forward to assist students, particularly those working with 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 last year, Spencer has been tutoring ‘Math Made Simple’ on her Facebook page every Tuesday night for free.

“My thing is emphasising and understanding the concepts because that’s what is transferable when you go to another level,” Spencer said.

Since then, students from the United States and other countries have been watching the videos. Other teachers are also sharing the video. The videos have over 100,000 views so far.

Spencer has no plans to retire soon. She will continue tutoring and helping more students. “As long as I can do this—as long as it’s helping—I’m willing to do this.”
