What Is Our Mission?
The mission of Students Teaching Students® is to provide private one-on-one tutoring and enrichment opportunities to prepare students for the global 21st century.
Today’s competitive advantage goes to the student who achieves beyond what is expected. Successful students must be able to compete in and out of the classroom as they prepare for the college classroom, the boardroom, and the 21st century global classroom.
According to leading statisticians and demographers, approximately 95% of the jobs that students are preparing for in the immediate future do not even exist today.
Career opportunities for children and young adults must be viewed from a global perspective. The emerging global markets in China, Japan, Russia, and throughout parts of Asia and Eastern Europe are expanding at warp speed. Our goal is to provide tutorial and enrichment opportunities to give students a competitive edge.

The Ancient Form of Chinese Paper Cutting
Teaching for global awareness is hardly a new idea. In 1848, Wiilbraham and Monson Academy in Massachusetts enrolled Chinese students who went on to Yale University as the first cohort of what is one of today’s flagship international programs. (www.yale.edu)
Many schools are funding extensive travel for faculty in order to focus on global curriculum as it relates to foreign language, cultural studies, and economics.
At the University School in Milwaukee, more than a dozen teachers have traveled to China as part of an overall effort to bring Chinese culture into the classrooms, like dozens of other schools from New England to the West Coast to Alaska and Hawaii, bringing Mandarin Chinese language study into its curriculum.
At the Viewpoint School in California, a five-year old Chinese language program has already expanded to require a second teacher; 30 percent of the school’s sixth graders elected to take Chinese last year.
