Boston Science Tutoring FAQ
If you have a student who could use study help in any of the sciences, from kindergarten through twelfth grade, contact Varsity Tutors to be connected with excellent Boston science tutors. Students encounter science concepts in school starting almost right away. If they are struggling in science, they may have trouble articulating that to their teachers. Private tutoring affords your student the opportunity to ask the questions they want to ask and work closely with a professional educator who is invested in their needs. We can assist you in finding your student the tutoring help they need to feel confident in their understanding of science in school.
How is Boston science tutoring different from classroom learning?
There are so many subjects that teachers must cover during the course of a school day. And each of those subjects has a specific set of information that must be worked through before the year is out. This means that teachers often need to follow a set curriculum, or they won't get everything covered. For subjects a student already has a good feel for, this may not be an issue. But if your student is struggling, that steady pace can make them feel left behind. With Boston science tutors, your student is the sole focus, receiving their instructor's full attention. The areas they need help with are the areas their tutor can focus on.
At the start of their Boston science tutoring sessions, your student's tutor can work with them to determine their preferred learning style. From there, they can fashion their lessons plans and curriculum to reflect your student's preferences. For example, you may have a high schooler who responds well to listening, and then being allowed to verbally articulate what they've heard. Their tutor might take a conversational approach to a topic like the history of life on earth.
Or, you might have a grade schooler who is a visual learner. In that case, their instructor might use colorful diagrams to demonstrate concepts relating to ecosystems and climate zones. When students are given the opportunity to learn according to their preferred methods, they can gain a deeper understanding of the information, and it can stay with them longer.
With Boston science tutoring, your student gets to set the pace. If there are areas of study they already possess a strong foundation in, they can review these quickly, or skip them altogether. When they encounter topics that pose difficulties for them, these are the places where they can place their focus. With private instruction, sessions can be responsive to your student's needs.
What are the benefits of having my student study with Boston science tutors near me?
Individual attention, meaning your student's needs can come first, is perhaps the biggest benefit. Boston science tutoring can respond to your student's learning style and subject matter needs, but can also be responsive when those needs change. Maybe your middle school student starts out needing help understanding the fossil record but picks up on the concepts quicker than they'd thought they would. Seeing this, their tutor can move on to something that they might find more challenging, like plate tectonics and the movement of continents.
Working one-on-one with Boston science tutors means that, over the course of their sessions, a rapport can develop between your child and their tutor. As your student and their tutor get to know one another, a level of comfort can develop. When a student works in an environment in which they feel comfortable, they can begin to feel comfortable with the material as well. Being comfortable with the material can help them to internalize it and understand it better.
Working with Boston science tutors can mean immediate feedback. Though your student may take classes devoted to a number of different science subjects, many of those are interrelated. And they are often cumulative. That means that if a student misunderstands something early on, that misunderstanding can have a ripple effect. One-on-one attention means that those kinds of little mistakes can be addressed when they come up, before they become a learning obstacle later on.
Your student isn't the only one who can benefit from working with Boston science tutors, either. Parents can benefit too. It may have been a while since you studied these topics, so you may not feel entirely comfortable when your student comes to you asking for help with their homework. Private instruction takes some of that pressure off of you. Still, you may want to stay engaged in whatever ways you can with your student's learning. Your student's instructor can help you with tips for aiding them in their studies at home. They might show you techniques for color-coding to keep different concepts distinct and separate, for example.
How can I fit Boston science tutoring into my student's schedule?
With so much going on, school, work, family, and all those outside activities, life can feel very busy sometimes. Fitting study sessions in with everything else can feel like it's just one thing too much. Varsity Tutors wants to make it as convenient as possible for you to connect with the best Boston science tutors for your student's individual needs. You can choose between online and in-person options, depending on what is going to work best for your student and what is going to fit into your schedule. No matter which option you choose, though, it's the same high level of instruction.
Of course, the online option has the benefit of added convenience. Our Live Learning Platform gives you and your student the freedom to choose where they will attend sessions from. Additionally, the platform includes several useful learning tools like video chat, a virtual whiteboard, and a shared document editor.
Using the video chat function, your student and their tutor can interact face-to-face. Questions during your student's Boston science tutoring session can be posed in real-time and, perhaps more importantly, so can answers. With the virtual whiteboard, your student's instructor can diagram things like forces and motion, cell division, or cell structure and function. With a shared document editor a tutor can work through practice questions with your grade-schooler on things like forms of energy, or phase changes in matter.
Additionally, all sessions are recorded, and you and your student will have access to those recordings. So interactions with their instructors can become valuable learning tools to go back to and use whenever your student is studying on their own.
Thanks to the Live Learning Platform's capabilities, you don't have to stress about commuting, or getting your student to a site-specific location. As long as they have a compatible device and a reliable internet connection, they can attend from anywhere. For your student, working from the comfort of home may be the best bet. That's no problem. Or, they might need someplace a little more tranquil. And that's fine too. They can log in from a local library, like Cambridge Public Library. It really comes down to what works best for you and your student.
