Welcome!
Welcome to the web site of Helicon, Inc., the Mathematics Resource and Support Center for
Females!
Helicon, Inc. was founded in 1999 for the purpose of helping females learn the mathematics (and
“numbers-related” disciplines) they need to achieve their academic and career goals.
Since 1999, more than 5,000 females (and a growing number of males) have attended classes,
courses, and workshops conducted by Helicon, Inc. They are Asian-American, Black, Latina,
and White from all zip codes of the five boroughs of New York City. Their ages range from 18
to 74 years. Most are from the more economically–challenged strata of our society; and almost
all are products of New York City public schools.
We help people pass the math section of the GED Test. We help people get into college, and
then stay in college math classes. We help people get into occupational-training or preapprenticeship
programs that have “high end” mathematics proficiency admission standards; and
then help them pass tests to become apprentices in their trades of choice or get good jobs in
public utilities/authorities. We help nursing aides and home health care workers get into LPN
and Pharmacology Technician training programs. We help women starting or growing their
businesses with their business plans (the “numbers part”), budgeting, and bookkeeping. And,
these people whom we’ve helped to learn math for their professions: we work with them as
parents so they can help their children learn math.
In the current economic recession, many un- and under-employed people are looking to acquire
the technical skills demanded by established and emerging industries (e.g., health information
technology, energy, transportation, advanced manufacturing and green jobs) that are poised for
growth. Invariably, admission to training programs where these skills can be learned is
contingent upon the ability to demonstrate high proficiency in mathematics, mechanical
comprehension and spatial reasoning—the very disciplines that Helicon, Inc. has manifest ability
to teach quickly and thoroughly. We look forward to helping more women become competitive
for these 21st century careers.
