Learning is a dynamic process involving interactions between students, educators, and learning resources in an environment designed to achieve a deep understanding of the material. One of the challenges often faced in education is learning difficulties, especially in subjects considered difficult such as Mathematics and English. Additional tutoring programs outside of class hours are a solution to help students overcome the academic difficulties they face. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a tutoring program in addressing learning difficulties in Kedondong District, with a focus on Mathematics and English. This program involves students experiencing difficulty understanding the subject matter and provides intensive guidance using an interactive approach and the use of technology-based learning media, such as multimedia and educational quizzes, which make learning more engaging. The evaluation results show a significant increase in student understanding of the material, as well as positive changes in student motivation, independence, and self-confidence. This program not only successfully improves academic understanding but also fosters a higher enthusiasm for learning in students. Despite challenges, such as limited resources and differences in student understanding levels, this program is able to create a conducive learning environment. Therefore, it is hoped that this program can be replicated in other regions to improve the quality of education in a sustainable manner, by involving various parties, such as the government, educational institutions, and the community.

One of the significant challenges in the world of education is the learning difficulties experienced by students, including in the boarding school environment. The purpose of this service activity is to provide tutoring to grade VII students, especially class VII-C MTs Mambaul Ulum to help students overcome difficulties in learning mathematics. The method of implementing service activities consists of five main stages: 1) planning and preparation including taking care of permits to carry out service activities, conducting initial surveys to identify mathematical materials that are considered necessary for guidance, compiling teaching materials needed in tutoring activities, and determining the schedule for the implementation of tutoring activities; 2) providing pretest questions to determine students' learning abilities before tutoring activities are held; 3) the implementation of tutoring activities; 4) the provision of posttest questions to determine students' mathematics learning ability after tutoring activities, and; 5) evaluation. The results of this activity show that mathematics tutoring activities for grade VII students, especially grade VII-C MTs Mambaul Ulum, have proven to be effective in helping to overcome difficulties in learning mathematics. The increase in the average score from pretest to posttest, from 45 to 80, shows that students are able to understand and master the material taught.

The intelligence of an elementary school teacher in delivering material needs to be supported by the family environment and the role of the student's parents. From here we know that improving and developing the quality of knowledge about Mathematics is important. Purwakarta State Elementary School students in Cilegon City find it easier to remember and understand Mathematics lessons if they enjoy doing it and are accompanied by real experiences in everyday life. The role of higher education through the Tridharma of Higher Education is to carry out education, research and community service. One form of this obligation and concern is that as a Permanent Lecturer or academic at Serang Raya University, I intend to carry out community service to the students of Purwakarta State Elementary School, Cilegon City through Arithmetic training. This community service aims to provide learning services that are tailored to the learning difficulties of students at the Purwakarta State Primary School, Cilegon City. This Community Service Activity (PKM) is carried out in the classrooms of each class. As a result of the tutoring activities carried out by tutors for students, it can be concluded that there has been an increase in student learning outcomes
