Become a MSTI Tutor
Mathematics/Science Teacher Initiative (MSTI)
Our MSTI program hires and pays SDSU undergraduates in STEM to work as tutors at local middle and high schools. Our tutors typically spend several hours two or three times a week in their assigned school working alongside master teachers, conducting small groups or working one on one with students. The tutoring is done at mutually convenient times, which tutors and the assigned teacher decide on together. These students get hands on experience in math and science classrooms which aids in their process of deciding their future in education.
