EnCorps STEM Teachers

We train and support STEM professionals from fields such as biotech, aerospace engineering, information technology, and medicine to become tutors, guest teachers, and fulltime teachers who transform learning as they gain the respect of students with their real-world experience. STEMx (Expert) Tutors will provide one-one-one virtual math tutoring to grades 6-8 students. Identified students cannot make sufficient progress without intervention. Our goals are to improve academic achievement in math AND to develop a STEM identity for these students.

EnCorps has been working earnestly since 2007 to recruit the best and brightest science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professionals to teach in California, providing meaningful opportunities to impact disadvantaged students. We believe all students deserve access to a great STEM teacher, a great STEM education and all the opportunities that those can provide. EnCorps educators are connecting students to real-world math and science career and economic opportunities and transforming public education statewide.
