MITSA Tutoring

INTRODUCTION TO THE COMMUNITY/ORGANIZATION

Mitsa Tutoring

MITSA Tutoring is a non-profit student-led organization founded in 2019 by Philippine Science High School - Main Campus students. It is composed of students from various high schools and universities who are passionate about STEM and sharing their knowledge to others. This organization is dedicated to developing pre-secondary students’ scientific skills and promoting STEM education through its online mentorship program, open-access modules and tutoring, and workshops, true to its motto: “For future scientists, by future scientists.”

Manuel L. Quezon Elementary School

The school started out around October 1999 when it broke out and became independent from the Commonwealth School — Main, which it was previously a part of. It was named Manuel Luis Quezon Elementary School (MLQES) as a tribute to the previous president Manuel L. Quezon since he is considered the father of Quezon City, the area where the school currently resides. Dr. Robert S. Macasieb served as the first school principal the same year it became independent. Currently, Dr. Natividad V. Nacino serves as the principal of the school. As of now, MLQES houses more than 7,000 students from Kindergarten to 6th Grade, including Special Education (SPED) and Alternative Learning System (ALS) students.
