John

ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects

I attended college at Rockhurst University where I received my B.S. in Mathematics. After graduating from there, I attended Saint Louis University, where I began work on my M.A. in Mathematics, which is still in progress.I began tutoring students at a private company, where I worked during my senior year of high school. While at Rockhurst, I worked in the Learning Center for two years as a tutor and as a Supplemental Instructor for one year. In addition, I had the opportunity to shadow a local high school math teacher. At SLU, I worked in their Tutoring Center for one semester and during my second semester I taught a section of College Algebra.I am able to tutor many different areas of math, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. Of these, my favorite is definitely Calculus, because I think that there are many people with misconceptions about the subject, and I enjoy showing people that there is nothing to afraid of, and that it can actually be fun!Outside of math, my hobbies include video games and watching movies. I also can be persuaded to perform some card tricks from time to time.

Srikar

ACT Writing Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am currently an undergraduate student at Saint Louis University studying Neuroscience. I am a part of their Medical Scholars program, an 8 year BS/MD program (if you have any questions regarding my program, I would love to talk about it). As a college student, I have been involved with organizations like the ASBMB and AED that place an emphasis on biology and biochemistry and I am also heavily involved with service organizations across St. Louis and Houston. I am an avid sports fan (do not try to debate me on the Texans or the Rockets) and love to play basketball, tennis, and football. The outdoors have always been a part of my life as an Eagle Scout and backpacker, so I love anything to do with nature and have gone on my fair share of trips across the country. I have taken most AP courses available in the AP curriculum and am pretty familiar with today's high school curriculum, seeing as I am only two years removed from it. I love tutoring subjects in math, chemistry, and biology, all courses I have taken at the college level and done well in. I know these subjects can be imposing at first, but there are always tricks to solving problems and I hope to impart some of the ones I like to use. I like to think I'm a pretty fun guy, so don't be scared to learn from me; I believe that learning should be fun, so I will try my best to ensure that you enjoy learning with me.

Frequently Asked Questions

First grade science introduces students to foundational concepts across life, earth, and physical science. Common topics include living things and their habitats, seasons and weather patterns, basic properties of materials, simple machines, the five senses, and how plants and animals grow and change. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on exploration and observation skills rather than memorization, helping students develop curiosity about the natural world.

Science tutors break down abstract concepts into concrete, observable experiences. For example, instead of just reading about how plants grow, a tutor might help your child plant seeds and observe changes over time, connecting theory to real-world outcomes. Tutors also teach the scientific method—asking questions, making predictions, and testing ideas—which builds both understanding and critical thinking skills. This approach helps students move beyond memorization to truly grasp why things happen in nature.

Great first grade science tutors are patient, curious, and skilled at making learning interactive and fun. They should understand how young learners think, use age-appropriate experiments and activities, and ask open-ended questions that encourage exploration. Look for tutors who can explain concepts simply, connect lessons to things your child sees every day, and adapt their teaching style based on your child's interests—whether that's animals, weather, plants, or how things work.

Personalized science instruction means your child learns at their own pace with a tutor who can pause on confusing ideas, repeat explanations in different ways, and choose examples that match their interests. Unlike classroom settings where teachers manage many students, one-on-one tutoring allows for immediate feedback and hands-on experiments tailored to your child's learning style. This focused attention helps build confidence and a genuine curiosity about science rather than anxiety about getting the right answer.

First graders often struggle with understanding cause and effect (why does this happen?), observing carefully, and using scientific vocabulary to describe what they see. Some students also find it hard to sit still during experiments or to predict outcomes before trying something. A tutor can help by breaking these skills into smaller steps, providing plenty of opportunities to practice observing and predicting, and making experiments engaging so your child stays focused and excited about learning.

Tutors choose simple, safe experiments that produce clear, immediate results—like observing how water changes states, watching seeds sprout, or testing which materials sink or float. They guide students through each step slowly, ask questions to help them notice patterns, and encourage predictions before revealing outcomes. This hands-on approach makes abstract concepts concrete and memorable, and helps students feel like real scientists rather than passive observers.

Simple activities make great science learning: observe bugs in the garden, watch clouds change shape, plant seeds indoors, compare how different objects float or sink, or notice how shadows change throughout the day. Ask your child "why" and "what if" questions to encourage curiosity, and let them lead exploration. A tutor can suggest specific experiments and activities tailored to your child's interests and help them develop the observation and questioning skills that make home learning more meaningful.
