About Us

The goal of TeachingisHelping is to develop a medium of opportunities and understanding in the field of STEM for the underprivileged and ambitious. Through the exploitation of resources and individualized mentoring, we help build a community of passion, intellect, and ambition.

As a country with developed schools, some of the top in the world, we must ask ourselves why millions of students in a class are unmotivated. Many, many, many students sit in class and don’t seek help when they need it. So yes, our nation has an advanced education system, but is the current generation really advancing? Or are we regressing-pulling the passion, curiosity, and desire from the future of our country, only because outside help is unavailable.

We understand that each student has a unique learning style and study habits, and how difficult it can be to receive the one-on-one support they need in the classroom. That’s why TeachingIsHelping provide support to the particular needs and circumstances of each individual and community in need.
