about empower
Did you know that despite all our advances in technology and innovation, millions of students across the country are still falling behind in math — not because they lack potential, but because they lack the right support?
Jules Hampton, CEO and Founder of Empower Learning and Leadership Academy, created Empower to change that. Inspired by personal experiences with disparities in the education system, Jules built a program that turns students into professional learners through personalized mentoring, AI-powered tutoring, and teacher coaching.
Empower Learning and Leadership Academy helps students close learning gaps left by the pandemic while building confidence, mastery, and a lasting love for math. Through small study cohorts that combine academic growth with personal development, Empower prepares the next generation of STEM-ready, self-assured learners.
Empower is on a mission to make learning an act of empowerment, not privilege — and invites partners, educators, and supporters to join in shaping a future where every student can thrive.
