EducationEquity Foundation

The Educationequity foundation (eEF) Mission

EEF provides excellent free STEM tutoring to motivated students who happen to be from families that could not otherwise afford such tutoring. For their tutoring, these students invest their gritty studying, rather than paying dollars.

EEF thereby helps these students academically leverage their grit so that they can succeed in their preparation for fields that require STEM cores.

How EEF ACCOMPLISHES THIS MISSION:

Building STEM bridges

(below example for students hoping to become physicians)

NOTE: EEF’S POST-PANDEMIC FOCUS IS EQUITY IN U.S. MEDICAL EDUCATION. IN PARTICULAR, EEF’S FOCUS IS HELPING LOW-INCOME UNDERREPRESENTED PREMEDS PREPARE FOR THE MEDICAL COLLEGE ADMISSION TEST® (MCAT):

• For free, EEF provides AI-augmented online MCAT Prep to such premeds, especially premeds of color.

• The pandemic has highlighted that distrust caused by the inequities in the US medical system has dire Public Health consequences. Having more US physicians who reflect the US demography will alleviate some of this distrust.

• Due to the underfunded - and therefore often dysfunctional - precollege schools they attended, low-income premeds often do not have the educational background in STEM necessary to do well in their required college STEM core courses or on the MCAT.

Relevant Skills & Experience of EEF’s MCAT Prep Tutor (Dan Jetter):

• Editor of MCAT practice questions (Physics, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry) for online MCAT Prep firm.

• Developer of AP Physics Exam practice questions for an international testing firm in Princeton

• Private tutor (Sciences, Calculus, and SAT/ACT/MCAT Prep) of high school & college students (over $150K earned)

  • Dan is thus familiar with students’ most frequent STEM deficits, and how to help students overcome them.

  • Dan was trained by Princeton Review as an MCAT tutor of Physics & GenChem.

• STEM classroom teacher in urban public high schools (over 2500 hours experience)

  • Dan is thus familiar with the educational weaknesses - but also potential strengths - of disadvantaged students.

• Master's Degrees in both Science Teaching (Hunter College) and in Public Health (Rutgers/UMDNJ)
