Science

Science, in its many forms, offers students the chance to explore the world around them, understand natural phenomena, and investigate the unknown. At Academic Approach, we are dedicated to enhancing your student’s knowledge and interest in various scientific disciplines and cultivating their critical thinking and scientific literacy.

Our Approach

Our tutoring supports students in developing scientific literacy and analytical skills, promoting curiosity and a love for discovery. Our tutors foster a learning environment that encourages students to ask questions, formulate hypotheses, and validate their understanding through evidence. Be it the intricacies of biology, the wonders of chemistry, or the laws of physics, our tutors guide students in grasping complex scientific concepts and theories.

Being proficient in science not only boosts performance in standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, and AP exams, but it also opens doors to a myriad of career paths in fields like healthcare, engineering, environmental science, and research. Moreover, a strong understanding of science helps students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills, crucial in everyday life and future careers.

Science Specialties

Academic Approach tutors are ready to help your student with any science topic. Here are a few of the most popular science classes for which we provide academic tutoring.

Most of our students come to us seeking help for high school level science courses, but we also provide science academic tutoring for middle school and college level courses! 

Tailored to Individual Needs

Academic tutoring, even more so than standardized test preparation, is driven by the student. Before beginning a science academic tutoring program, our instructors will try to find out:

Your student's course syllabus, including any important test deadlines
The textbook(s) your student is using. We make sure that our tutors have access to the same textbook from which your student is working
How your student feels about the class and their teacher. What do they like, and why? What do they dislike, and why? What topics are most and least interesting to them? What assignments have been the easiest or most challenging for them? 

Don’t worry if you (or your student) don’t know the answers to these questions. Our instructors are well-versed in the material they teach, how to read students, and how to determine the best place to start. That said, the more information you and your student can provide about the science class, the better.
