Pre-AP Biology is an advanced science course designed by the College Board to help students prepare for AP and other college-level classes down the line. The curriculum places a strong emphasis on analysis and the application of scientific knowledge, helping students build critical thinking skills as well as scientific knowledge. If you or your child are having a hard time with this class, Varsity Tutors can refer you to an experienced Pre-AP Biology tutor to help you pursue your academic goals.
Here are some of the central concepts you may review during Pre-AP Biology tutoring sessions:
- Ecology and Ecological Systems
- Evolution (Including Evidence For)
- Cellular Systems
- Genetics
Pre-AP Biology tutoring can be flexible as tutors can adapt their sessions to their pupil's individual needs. If your child is a visual learner, diagrams of cell structure may help them remember what each organelle looks like. Alternatively, an auditory learner may benefit more from a lecture format in which students have multiple chances for spoken information to stick. Either way, students are free to learn at their own pace. They don't need to move on from a topic until they are ready to do so, and any questions they have may be addressed in a timely manner. Private tutoring sessions can also make science more engaging. For example, a concept may become easier for a student to understand if it is demonstrated through an at-home experiment. There are a variety of ways for how to engage students.
