Chelsie
Algebra Tutor • +41 Subjects
I have worked as an after care counselor at a charter school, and have been tutoring for five years. I also am a peer mentor at the Florida International University, where I facilitate learning and teach classes to freshmen students. I love teaching people and helping them understand concepts they once found difficult. When I tutor, I try to make things relatable to the person that I am speaking to.Extra curricular activities that I participate in are the Biomedical Engineering Society, Florida Engineering Society, Society for Women in Engineering, Chemistry Society, Society of Physics Students, and Toastmasters. I am also the Secretary of the Archery Club.I know many shortcuts in math because I am currently studying Biomedical Engineering, and am also pursuing a minor in Chemistry. Math comes easily to me, and I want other people to understand it as well. Many people are afraid of math--some get clammy just thinking of it--but I would like to alleviate those worries and make my students confident in the topic.I have tutored English and proofread many essays for the past five years. I believe it's important to inspire students and brainstorm with them as they write. By taking students through the writing process, I believe they can then learn better. I am a flexible tutor and am always willing to help. I know many topics and am always trying to learn more. Please ask me if you have any specific topic that you would like assistance in.

Arianna
ACT English Tutor • +44 Subjects
I am a third-year medical student at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. I graduated from the University of Kansas in three years with a Bachelor of Science degree in Behavioral Neuroscience and minors in psychology and Spanish. Before starting medical school, I worked as a medical assistant and a tutor for the KU Athletic Department. Throughout my undergraduate experience, I worked with students extensively as a peer tutor, undergraduate teaching assistant, and seminar assistant. Tutoring has always been a passion of mine as I love to help others by way of education. I work hard with students to establish a friendship that allows for a comfortable dynamic conducive to learning and asking questions. I also utilize a variety of resources in order to keep students engaged and frequently ask questions to assess their learning level. I recognize the importance of working with students to better understand their learning styles and studying methods in order to create individualized tutoring plans that maximize growth in the classroom as well as outside of the classroom. I aim to help students develop valuable habits and skills that will bring success that lasts beyond our tutoring sessions. I feel comfortable modifying my approach when working with different ages, although I have found that many aspects of my teaching strategy remain constant among all my students. I tutor many classes ranging from algebra to statistics, but my favorite courses to teach are related to psychology!

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.
