Shining a light on remarkable women in science
Georgina Green ??
STEM Education Specialist at Green Tutors STEM Tuition agency, passionate about building diversity and opportunities in STEM
Hello, I'm Georgina, a scientist turned STEM specialist educator and founder of Green Tutors . My passion lies in empowering the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators by making STEM accessible and exciting for all students.
My Journey and Expertise
With a solid background in science, I've transitioned into education to address the systemic challenges in STEM learning. My company, Green Tutors, delivers KS3, GCSE, and A-level tuition in STEM, plus academic coaching, all online. Our content connects to real-world STEM roles and experiences, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of our tutors.
Why Storytelling in STEM Matters
Drawing inspiration from figures like Mary Shelley, the pioneer of science fiction, I emphasise the importance of storytelling in making STEM relatable and engaging. Integrating the arts with STEM (STEAM) helps students see the creativity and human impact behind scientific endeavours, breaking the stereotype that STEM is all about facts and numbers.
Addressing Gender Bias in STEM
There are many reasons for the persistent bias against women in STEM, including stereotypes, a lack of representation, and misconceptions about creativity and impact in STEM careers. Studies show that girls perform equally well in STEM subjects but are often deterred by these biases. By showcasing diverse role models and connecting STEM to real-world applications, we can challenge these misconceptions.
At Green Tutors, we provide online tuition that highlights real-world STEM experiences, aiming to inspire all students, especially girls, to see themselves as future STEM leaders.
