In today’s rapidly evolving world, math proficiency is more crucial than ever. Yet, many middle school students face challenges that hinder their confidence and performance in this essential subject. That’s where the EnCorps STEMx Tutors Program steps in, offering a lifeline to students in California who may not have equitable access to quality STEM education. By connecting them with passionate STEM professionals and college students, we aim to increase math proficiency and boost confidence through online tutoring.
The Impact of Tutoring: A Parent’s Perspective
One mother shared a powerful testament to the program’s impact on her son:
“My son was very nervous, upset, and discouraged; he didn’t even try in his math class. Since he began math tutoring, his confidence and grades have improved. He started with a low grade and has stayed on track. I believe it is due to his math tutoring.”
This heartfelt feedback highlights the transformative effect that dedicated tutoring can have on students’ academic journeys.
Measurable Success in the 2023-2024 Academic Year
The results speak for themselves. In the 2023-2024 academic year, students in the STEMx Tutor Program achieved remarkable improvements:
- 84% of students increased their math proficiency.
- 96% reported that their tutoring sessions significantly helped them in math class.
- 90% expressed that they now understand how to use math in their daily lives.
These statistics not only reflect the effectiveness of our tutoring program but also underscore the essential role that STEM professionals play in shaping students’ futures.
