Tutoring in Science

Tutoring a student in a specific science subject generally includes weekly meetings to discuss new material, review difficult concepts and work on practice problems. Developing regular study habits generally reduces the need for extensive pre-test work, but extra sessions can be scheduled, if necessary, to specifically prepare for a test. Students can communicate with me by email or phone if they have questions between sessions.

Tutoring in Science plus Learning Skills Mentoring

For some students, it is beneficial to work on general learning skills in addition to tutoring the student in a specific subject. For example, a student may have problems with organizational skills or problem solving skills plus they may have trouble figuring out how to study effectively. Often these problems cause the most trouble in the students’ science and math classes. In this case working on the general learning skills can be combined with tutoring in a specific science or math class. In addition to the weekly meeting to study subject material, there will be a daily check-in to develop regular study habits and provide general academic support. Work on other academic issues, like getting started on an outline or an essay can take place during the daily check-in, the regular weekly meeting or scheduled separately as needed.

Test Preparation for SAT II & Advanced Placement

Preparing for a high stakes test involves reviewing critical concepts, doing practice test questions and learning test taking strategies. The most effective approach is to schedule a series of regular study sessions leading up to the test. The exact process will depend on the number of sessions the student wishes to devote to test preparation.
