Award-Winning Private Science Tutoring in Casa Grande, AZ

"The student and I worked on reviewing topics for her upcoming test. We made a study sheet discussing phase changes and the equations to determine energy changes associated with each state. We reviewed endothermic and exothermic reactions as well as all the types of intermolecular forces that exist in molecules. "

"The student and I got through 75% of his homework packet covering diffraction, reflection, wave properties, and Snell's Law. The math is quite easy on these problems but there are many pitfalls setting up the solution. I covered the theory about what's happening behind the equations especially. After that, the student immediately picked it up."

"Today, I helped the student prepare for an upcoming test about the rock cycle. After discussing how she felt about the subject, she made it clear that she knew many of the facts, but was unsure of how they fit together. I started by asking her questions about the different classes of rocks: specifically what they are formed from and how they are formed. She initially had difficulty remembering which formations went with which processes, but she became more confident as she started associating them with specific rocks, like marble and slate. I then had her compile a chart of the rock cycle step by step. Once she saw how each step was connected, she answered many of the questions I had about rock classes and processes with ease. I made a separate chart of the rock cycle with pictures for her to study in preparation for her test."
