Private In-Home and Online 8th Grade Science Tutoring
Receive personally tailored 8th Grade Science lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations.Dedicated Private 8th Grade Science Tutoring
Varsity Tutors will help you find your student a qualified 8th grade science tutor in as little as 24 hours. Federal Common Core standards require students to take a standardized assessment in grade 8, so you should take action if your student needs a boost.
A private instructor can create a customized study plan to help your student with their unique areas of opportunity. Here are some of the other benefits of private instruction:
- Prompt feedback on all completed assignments
- Distraction-free learning environment where questions are encouraged
- Personalized instruction
- An opportunity to establish a meaningful bond between student and teacher
- Access to learning resources developed by experts
- and much more
The Most Certified 8th Grade Science Tutors Available
Eighth-grade science doesn't have a set curriculum, so your student could be studying Earth science, physical science, or life science depending on their school. Varsity Tutors maintains an extensive database of private tutors that allows us to find you a suitable instructor without asking you to handle any of the research.
How much does an 8th grade science tutor cost?
The price of 8th grade science tutoring depends on several different variables, including how often you want your student to study and the specific concepts to be reviewed. For instance, you are likely to be charged a different rate for a brief overview of gravitational forces than you would be for a more in-depth look at Newton's Laws of Motion.
If money is tight, we can also facilitate group tutoring sessions that allow you to split the cost of your instructor with other people. We also provide a live, online 8th grade science class if your student works best with others. Please contact one of our friendly Educational Directors using the "Get Started" tab above or by phone for more specific pricing information for each of these options.
How does online 8th grade science tutoring work?
Your student will meet their experienced 8th grade science tutor on our exclusive Live Learning Platform: a virtual classroom equipped with plenty of great features to provide a face-to-face study experience anywhere with a reliable internet connection. Video chat allows your student to hear and see their science coach at all times, while a virtual whiteboard makes it easier to take notes on the cell cycle or the Scientific Method.
Our platform also records every study session automatically, so you can easily keep tabs on what your student is doing. Your student can also revisit previous study sessions if they want a refresher. If you don't want to worry about driving your student anyplace, online tutoring could be the solution you have been hoping for.
Are 8th grade science tutors worth it?
Independent research indicates that working with a private tutor can help average students rise to the top 2 percent of their class. If your student is already a high-achiever, a private tutor can introduce fresh topics at a rapid pace to keep them engaged in the learning process.
Either way, we'd say that private instruction is definitely worth it. Varsity Tutors is ready and willing to match you with a certified instructor, but you have to take that all-important first step. Contact us online or by telephone and get the process started today!
