At the GO Tutor Corps, we believe great teachers are homegrown. That’s why we’ve created the GO Residency—a pathway to the classroom for aspiring educators committed to transforming outcomes for students.

The GO Residency is a school-based teaching apprenticeship, spanning 1 to 2 years, designed to support individuals pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) and teaching certification. Residents are placed at one of our partner schools where they gain immersive, hands-on experience through our gradual release in a real classroom under the guidance of a seasoned Mentor Teacher. The Residency blends graduate coursework with daily practice, coaching, and mentorship.

After acceptance into the program, Residents apply to and enroll in a MAT program through one of our graduate school partners. Residents can pursue their MAT in a range of focus areas, including Elementary Education, K–12 Special Education, English Language Arts, Science, Math, and History. Tuition ranges from $11,000 to $25,000 per year, depending on the graduate school program. Throughout the Residency, participants also receive targeted coaching, professional development, and leadership training from the GO Tutor Corps team.
