Science Tutoring: Grades K – 7
Tutor's Qualifications
Students in grades K – 7 work with a certified elementary school teacher or university degree specialist who understands the science curriculum.
Homework Help
Many of our science tutoring programs focus on helping the student better understand the concepts that they are being taught in school and providing homework help. If they don’t have homework then the tutor can reteach more difficult topics and reinforce the key points with practice questions.
Filling-In Learning Gaps
Oftentimes, there are specific science concepts that the student does not understand. Since science builds upon previously learned material it is very easy for students to fall behind. It can be extremely frustrating and stressful. Our science tutors can help! They understand the curriculum and can help identify the areas that need more focus. They can reteach the concepts in a way that the student understands, provide practice questions and give tests to ensure their understanding.
Science Enrichment
Is your son or daughter not being challenged in their science class? Are they consistently receiving high marks and complaining of being bored? The tutor can introduce more advanced topics, assign practice questions and evaluate their progress.
Having a strong science foundation in elementary school directly affects their performance at higher levels. Our science enrichment programs can prepare the student to enter the International Baccalaureate Program (IB,) Advanced Placement Program (AP) or a private school.
Homeschooling Support
Hiring a science tutor to supplement a student’s homeschooling program is a great way to ensure that the provincial learning outcomes are being met. The tutor can teach the curriculum, assign homework and evaluate the student’s progress.
Science Tutoring: Grades 8 – University
Tutor's Qualifications

Oftentimes, just having a tutor to help review some concepts can go a long way in relieving stress and ensuring the student is on the right track.
Curriculum Review or Preview
Reviewing the previous year’s curriculum or previewing next year’s curriculum is an effective way to ensure a strong foundation and increase the student’s confidence.
