Peter
AP U.S. Government & Politics Tutor • +25 Subjects
I graduated Cornell University magna cum laude with degrees in History and Philosophy. After graduation, I consulted for two years and helped build Hawaii's new Health Insurance Marketplace. I also created an educational current events newsletter. I then joined a start up in NYC where I mentored and coached two analysts. I was most drawn to the teaching side of these experiences and find that the skills translate well to tutoring when complemented with my passion for history, English, writing, philosophy, and persuasive argumentation. In the tradition of philosophy, I feel tutoring is most effective using a Socratic dialogue approach, asking the right questions to guide the student to understanding. During my free time, I enjoy traveling, calisthenics, soccer, guitar and live music, reading history and science fiction, and keeping in touch with friends. I plan on attending law school in the near future.

I'm passionate about helping students because I know that tutoring and teaching allows me to learn too. I taught as primary teacher for 5 years and loved working with all ages. My Bachelor's in English, Minor in Business, and wide range of knowledge has equipped me to help students succeed across all ages and cultures. I especially love teaching English as well as Essay Writing, Conversational English, and Language Arts. These are subjects that I'm passionate about. These subjects have taken me outside of the classroom to different countries and I look forward to learning more as well as teaching more. I currently live in Portugal with my family and adventurous cats named Levi and Joey.

Hasan
10th Grade Tutor • +119 Subjects
I am a graduate of Brown University, where I earned my B.A. in Literary Arts and Visual Arts, taking courses in a wide array of subjects ranging from contemporary American fiction to ancient Indian classics. My first teaching experience came in college when I had the privilege of creating and teaching a series of literature courses at a local community center. There are few experiences I find more enriching than facilitating a meaningful dialogue centered around great works of literature and art. While literature and art are my passion, I also tutor in variety of other subjects, including math, science, and test preparation. I currently work as a lead teacher in the after-school program at Archway Classical Academy in Phoenix.

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.
