...works with your strengths and weaknesses. I like to spend the first time meeting a student really figuring out where the disconnect is with a subject, sometimes the problem is not the new material, but a stronger foundation in previous classes is needed. Professionally I have mostly tutored math for the last several years, but within my friends I tutored physics and other STEM courses through my academic career. I have a BS in civil...

Quebec City Civil Engineering Tutoring FAQ
Civil Engineers design, construct, maintain, and expand the structures of society, whether it's a bridge, space satellite, dam, or road tunnel. Anyone studying to be a civil engineer will be challenged to master a variety of disparate skills, including complex mathematics and physics. They will gain and be able to recall detailed knowledge of a wide variety of materials, including the ability to analyze complete sets of data. Furthermore, pupils will develop creative problem-solving abilities that can bridge theoretical knowledge and real-world problems. Civil engineer students will need very strong numeracy skills and high technology literacy. If you're having difficulty mastering a particular aspect of civil engineering or making sense of the material presented in one of your classes, perhaps private tutoring can be of assistance to you.
Civil engineering tutoring stands out because of the degree to which it focuses on you. Varsity Tutors' educational directors take your specific academic situation into account when helping you select the tutor best suited to assisting you, as well as any concerns you have with your course or curriculum. Your preferred learning style and personality are additional considerations. Your tutor then takes these same factors into account when creating a unique curriculum for your tutoring sessions. As a result, tutoring is extremely efficient. You won't need to spend time reviewing material that you already understand and you can work as quickly or as slowly as you need in order to master the concepts that confuse you. Your tutor can provide constant feedback and encouragement, as well as present ideas in ways that can better reach you. That is the benefit of having familiarity with one another and understanding one's learning style.
Varsity Tutors can put you in touch with a network of highly qualified tutors who are masters of their domains. Only the best make it through Varsity Tutors' rigorous qualification process, which includes an extensive background check. Qualified tutors have attended Ivy League colleges from across the nation, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford.

The network of tutors can assist you with everything from practical theoretical questions to evolutionary algorithms and metaheuristics. The instructors are here to serve your needs and do everything in their power to help you earn a better grade.
In-person and face-to-face online tutoring are both available. Your preference is the deciding factor. It's that kind of flexibility that makes private tutoring so attractive. Moreover, you'll receive an individualized, systematic, and structured learning experience. The instruction is self-paced with self-direct learning available. Students can also receive intensive practice for an upcoming homework assignment or exam. You decide on your areas of concentration. Tutoring will increase your subject knowledge in civil engineering, promote higher levels of thinking, and give you the direct ability to manage your own learning and study strategies.
If you only need help reviewing for a class midterm exam, your tutor can provide targeted and short-term assistance that is aimed at helping you fully understand each topic tested on your upcoming exam. Long-term help is also available if you're nervous about taking a particular course and want to meet regularly to review class material. Additionally, your sessions can take place at the time and location that best fits your schedule. Succeeding in the field of civil engineering requires a diverse background of theoretical and practical knowledge. Call Varsity Tutors today to start working with an experienced tutor. Private civil engineering tutoring can make a huge difference in your studies and put you on the path toward academic and professional success!

Recent Quebec City Civil Engineering Tutoring Session Notes
The student had an exam the day after our session so we reviewed topics related to genetics. Specifically, we covered Punnett squares, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, chi-square tests, and Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. I was concerned the session prior because he was struggling with differentiating between allele frequency and individual (phenotypic) frequency of genes in a population, which are important concepts in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, but he was confident today and knew the differences perfectly. We worked on practice problems and it seems that he is a pretty strong test taker; he utilizes process of elimination techniques very well. I guided him on easier and more efficient methods of solving genetics problems, which will save him time on the exam. I am confident he will receive a strong score.
In this session, we started to prepare the student for her exam on Friday. In order to do so, we went over the chapter review questions in great depth, and I had her write down her answers to these questions as a way to review later. The questions covered plant reproduction, which we focused on last meeting. She struggled to remember the details of how fertilization in plants occurs and which structures are involved. I gave her flashcards to use in completing the chapter objectives for studying purposes. I have no concerns about this session.
Today we went over ecology of organisms (from its basic overview to its levels such as organism, population, community, etc.), hormones, and behavior. To note, a whole chapter was covered during this session.
The student and I primarily prepared for his test tomorrow on evolution. We went over the five factors of evolution, Darwin's and Lamarck's theories, selection pressures, adaptations, punctuated equilibrium vs. gradualism, and I even showed him some extracurricular concepts such as Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to illustrate that evolution works on populations (allele frequencies), not individuals.
During this session we went over:
- Parthenogenesis (specifically bacteria and viruses)
- Bacteria types (shape, motility, and clustering)
- Virus
- Lytic vs Lysogenic Stages
- Vaccines
- Immunity and Immunization
We went over some test-taking strategies.
- Multiple Choice Test Taking Strategies
- Blocking test into sections and completing each block in an appropriate amount of time (i.e. if there are 40 multiple choice questions with 20 minutes allotted time, chunking the test into 4 sections of 10 and answering these 10 in 5 minutes. )
We practiced this with one set of multiple choice questions.
Today was this student's and my first session together. She told me that she has been doing well on her Biology quizzes, but has more difficulty when it comes to the exams. She wants to find a study style that works for her, so that she can do better on the exams. She has already talked with the professor and multiple classmates and is working hard to write down questions as she reads each chapter, and work through all of the homework assignments. I gave her advice on study techniques, such as watching videos, focusing on lecture notes while reading each chapter, and answering the concept questions as she goes through the textbook. She plans on assessing exactly what she wants help on for the next session.
