In this coaching program, mathematics teachers were given the opportunity to convey, discuss, and solve the problems associated with learning mathematics. At the end of each meeting, the teachers were given the task to apply the learning model that is an alternative for the problem solution in the field. With this training, teachers implement training materials using learning model chosen in each school. As teachers implement the model, the monitoring was held by the trainers and principals.

By e-coaching, without waiting for the next meeting, the teachers received the necessary guidance. The coaching results indicate that the competence of junior high school math teacher who have been certified is improved.
