Honors Matter and Energy is an accelerated science course offered to high school students interested in taking AP classes later in their academic careers. The class is generally split into two parts, with the first concentrating on physics while the second introduces chemistry. If your child is struggling to keep up with the rigorous curriculum, Varsity Tutors can refer you to an experienced Honors Matter and Energy tutor to help them.
Here are a few of the central concepts that may be reviewed during Honors Matter and Energy tutoring sessions:
- Applying Algebra I-level math within a scientific context
- Following the Scientific Method
- Energy
- Electricity
- Magnetism
- Properties of Matter
- Heat
- Atomic Structure
- Data Interpretation
That's a lot of material, but an Honors Matter and Energy tutor allows a student to work at their own pace. There are no time constraints associated with private tutoring, allowing students to focus on a challenging topic until they grasp it. If a student needs to backtrack to older material (including the math taught in Algebra I) to grasp something newer, they can be accommodated. Any questions they have can also be addressed in a timely manner, enabling students to receive the help they need before it is too late. The one-on-one learning environment offered by private high school Honors Matter and Energy tutoring sessions also allows students and their tutors to bond. This allows a tutor to learn where their pupil is and where they want to go, allowing them to tailor study sessions accordingly. For example, an auditory learner may need their tutor to lecture to them, while a visual learner might get more out of charts, graphs, and other visual aids. Students are also more likely to admit when they need help if they feel that they can trust their tutor.
