Our 1-on-1 science tutors are highly trained and ready to help.

Science classes can be challenging. A professional science tutor can break down complex concepts, teach study skills, and instill confidence in a student.

Our experienced tutors get students to deeply understand the material so that they can succeed on difficult science tests.

Once a student is caught up, the science tutor will teach ahead of the class so that the teacher’s instruction is review.

 

Learn how you can benefit from our science tutoring program

A great science tutor can make all the difference!

Even if your student has a difficult teacher, lacks the study skills to exceed in a demanding class, or is stretched too thin by the number of activities on her plate, we can provide support and help make learning fun. A great one-on-one science tutor can make all the difference. We support our Bay Area tutors with hours of training and share our experience about your local school system. We are passionate about science, math, and every subject we teach.

Our approach to science tutoring.

Identify and Fill in Content Gaps

At the beginning of the science tutoring sessions, we gather feedback and identify gaps in content understanding. By filling in content gaps, we help students thrive on their current coursework.

Make Science Come Alive

We share our passion for science and connect course material to real life examples.

Build in Study Skills

We teach time management, organization, and note-taking, which helps students to build confidence not only in their present science courses, but also in the rest of their academic endeavors.
