STEM Excellence, Tucson

Stem Excellence is a STEM program and SAT Prep tutoring service. STEM is an acronym for the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. Discussion of STEM-related programs has become a presidential priority because too few college students are pursuing degrees in these fields. The goal of STEM education is to increase STEM literacy—defined as the knowledge and understanding of scientific and mathematical concepts and processes required for personal decision making, participation in civic and cultural affairs, and economic productivity for all students. At STEM Excellence Tutoring, our tutors work to explain concepts to students in a way that they understand. We strive to tailor each lesson to the specific student’s learning strengths. Rather than just show the student how to solve individual problems, we teach our students how to read and understand problems, and how to find a pathway to the answer. Our tutors establish an excellent rapport with students so that they feel comfortable learning in a one on one tutoring atmosphere.
