Science Tutoring

In which area of Science does your student need assistance?

Science often involves complex topics and abstract theories that require thorough discussion of new concepts and critical thinking.

​

Many students struggle to connect theoretical knowledge to real-world applications, making it hard to see the relevance and fully grasp the material. Some students especially struggle with learning scientific terminology and visualizing 

​

Our tutors provide personalized support, helping students break down complicated topics, clarify their doubts, and build confidence in their ability to apply scientific principles to coursework. Through personalized one-on-one sessions and ongoing support, we'll ensure your student not only grasps these topics but also develops the ability to visualize their real-world applications.

AP Biology

Cell Biology: Structure and function of cells, including cellular processes like respiration, photosynthesis, and cell division.

Molecular Genetics: DNA structure and function, gene expression, and regulation, as well as genetic inheritance and biotechnology.

Evolution: Natural selection, population genetics, speciation, and the evidence supporting the theory of evolution.

Ecology: Interactions between organisms and their environments, including ecosystems, energy flow, and biogeochemical cycles.

Physiology: Organismal systems (e.g., circulatory, immune, nervous, and endocrine) and how they maintain homeostasis.

Biological Diversity: Classification of organisms and the evolutionary relationships between different groups.

AP Chemistry

Atomic Structure: Structure of atoms, electron configuration, and the periodic trends in atomic properties.

Chemical Bonding: Ionic and covalent bonds, molecular geometry, and intermolecular forces.

Stoichiometry: Quantitative relationships in chemical reactions, including limiting reactants and solutions.

Thermochemistry: Heat transfer, enthalpy, and calorimetry, including first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Kinetics: Reaction rates, factors affecting rates, and rate laws.

Equilibrium: Le Chatelier’s Principle, equilibrium constants, and calculations involving reversible reactions.

Acids and Bases: Properties, pH, titration, and buffer solutions.

Electrochemistry: Redox reactions, electrochemical cells, and standard electrode potentials.

Organic Chemistry: Basic organic compounds, nomenclature, and functional groups.

AP Physics

AP Physics 1 covers:

Kinematics: Motion, velocity, acceleration, and equations of motion.

Dynamics: Forces, Newton's Laws, friction, and motion under constant acceleration.

Work and Energy: Work, kinetic and potential energy, conservation of energy.

Momentum: Impulse, conservation of momentum, collisions.

Rotational Motion: Torque, rotational kinematics, and dynamics.

Mechanical Waves and Sound: Wave properties, sound waves, and the Doppler effect.

Simple Harmonic Motion: Oscillations, springs, and pendulums.

​

AP Physics 2 builds on these concepts and includes:

Fluid Mechanics: Fluid properties, buoyancy, and Bernoulli’s principle.

Thermodynamics: Laws of thermodynamics, heat engines, and entropy.

Electrostatics: Electric fields, charges, and potential.

Organic Chemistry

Conceptual Physics

AP Environmental Science

The study of carbon-containing compounds, primarily focusing on their structure, properties, reactions, and synthesis. It includes topics like hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes), functional groups (alcohols, acids, amines), and reaction mechanisms (addition, substitution, elimination). Organic chemistry plays a central role in biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.

Conceptual Physics focuses on understanding the fundamental principles of physics through qualitative concepts rather than heavy mathematical calculations. It covers topics such as motion, forces, energy, light, sound, electricity, magnetism, and basic quantum mechanics, emphasizing the conceptual understanding and real-world applications of physical phenomena. The course encourages critical thinking and problem-solving based on physical intuition.

​​Explores the relationship between humans and the environment. Key topics include ecosystems, biodiversity, natural resources, energy, pollution, climate change, and sustainability. The course emphasizes scientific methods, data analysis, and the impact of human activities on the planet, while promoting solutions for environmental challenges.
