Why STEM the Gap Academy?

Confidence Building

We focus on self-esteem as much as academic success, ensuring girls feel capable in any STEM environment.

Women Mentors

Real-world role models who provide guidance, inspiration, and a roadmap to future careers.

Personalized Learning

Curriculums tailored to individual strengths, learning styles, and personal interests.

No girl left behind

We focus on girls first. Not just the grade.

Our online STEM tutoring for girls centres on building both academic mastery and confidence. We understand that many girls do not struggle because they lack ability, but because they may not fully believe in their own skills and potential. Our confidence-focused teaching approach helps learners embrace challenges, take risks and develop the resilience and self-belief that supports long-term success in math, science and related subjects.

This means your girl won’t just improve her understanding in her studies, she will develop the courage to take on challenges, ask questions boldly and see herself as capable and confident.

STEM the Gap Academy is a revolution in girls’ education. Our team of women in STEM understands the barriers girls face firsthand and is committed to changing the narrative about who belongs in these fields. Through tailored online support, we help learners build strong foundations, sharpen critical thinking, and develop real problem-solving skills, with encouragement, care, and community.

 

Truth

We tell girls the truth of what they’re up against. We prepare them by explaining that reality of the injustices currently embedded in the system.

Representation

Our educators are Women in STEM and we model that for all of our students. If girls see it modelled before them, they understand that it is possible for them also.

Mastery

We equip girls by giving them an in-depth education and understanding of the various disciplines so they are incredibly skilled and love the process of learning.

Mission

We teach them the importance of self-worth, confidence, grit, and focus when it comes to taking on and tearing down systemic injustice.

Women in STEM jobs are paid higher than those in non-STEM jobs, earning 20 percent more than other college-educated women.

My 8-year-old daughter really enjoyed her STEM the Gap Academy course. The leaders looked friendly and competent, and they were also very generous with their time - they would stay online late if my daughter needed some extra help.
