In this paper an algorithm designed for large databases is introduced for the enhancement of pass rates in mathematical university lower division courses with several sections. Using integer programming techniques, the algorithm finds the optimal pairing of students and lecturers in order to maximize the success chances of the students' body. The students-lecturer success probability is computed according to their corresponding profiles stored in the data bases.
