Cera
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +58 Subjects
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering. I am also a Salt Lake Community College graduate. I love building things, challenging the status quo, and studying the way the world works. I have tutored for just over three years, and I tutor physics, algebra, reading, and test prep. Physics is one of my passions because I love learning about the world around me. Physics is intuitive and learning the laws that govern the world around us helps expand our understanding. I am a very hands-on tutor. I believe that working directly with things and especially working on projects of interest helps us learn and make connections better than anything else. I love analogies, experiments, and anything else that helps bring the problems off the page and into the student's life. I love to invent and build things and I spend most of my spare time working on humanitarian teams through my university or sewing my own clothing.
Rojin
Applied Mathematics Tutor • +116 Subjects
I have recently finished my BSc in chemical biology and MM from UBC, in the hopes of going to medical school afterwards. Therefore, I have scientific knowledge at a fourth-year level. I have also taken AP chem, physics, and calculus AB in high school, so I can also help with those and provide tips for the AP exam. I have expertise in all fields of science and math at the university level. I am willing to go through any concept that you are struggling with and come up with some practice questions to help you better understand the concept. I am very passionate about the subjects I'm learning and I want to help younger students also fulfill their potential and be more successful in the future. I can use different methods in order to make the concepts as easy as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Science Olympiad covers a wide range of disciplines across life science, earth science, and physical science. Depending on your division level and event focus, tutoring can address topics like anatomy and physiology, chemistry and chemical reactions, physics principles, geology, astronomy, genetics, and ecology. A tutor helps you master both the content knowledge and the scientific reasoning skills needed to solve problems quickly during competition.
Science Olympiad events are highly specialized—whether you're competing in Anatomy & Physiology, Fermi Questions, or Astronomy, each requires specific knowledge and problem-solving strategies. Tutors work with you to build deep understanding of event-specific content, practice past competition questions, develop efficient study approaches, and learn time management strategies that help you perform under pressure. This targeted preparation significantly improves your ability to compete effectively.
In Science Olympiad, memorization alone won't get you far—judges test your ability to apply concepts to novel situations and explain the "why" behind phenomena. Tutoring focuses on building conceptual understanding, so you can reason through unfamiliar problems using core principles rather than relying on recall. This deeper learning also helps you retain information longer and connect concepts across different events, making your overall preparation more efficient.
Many Science Olympiad topics involve abstract ideas that are hard to visualize—like enzyme function, atomic bonding, or gravitational forces. Expert tutors use diagrams, 3D models, analogies, and interactive explanations to help you build mental models of these concepts. They also connect abstract ideas to real-world applications and experiments, which makes them easier to understand and remember. This approach transforms confusing topics into concepts you can confidently explain and apply.
The best Science Olympiad tutors have deep subject expertise in multiple science disciplines and familiarity with competition formats and expectations. They know how to break down complex topics into manageable pieces, identify your knowledge gaps quickly, and tailor explanations to your learning style. They also understand the time pressure of competition and teach you efficient problem-solving strategies. Most importantly, they help you develop scientific thinking skills—not just fill gaps in content knowledge.
Preparation timelines vary depending on your starting point, the events you're competing in, and how frequently you meet with a tutor. Most students benefit from starting preparation 2-4 months before competition season, meeting weekly or bi-weekly. If you're focusing on one or two specific events, you might see solid progress in 6-8 weeks. Consistent practice between tutoring sessions—working through past competition papers and reviewing materials—accelerates your progress significantly.
Science Olympiad rewards the ability to think scientifically—asking good questions, designing logical experiments, analyzing data, and drawing evidence-based conclusions. Tutors help you develop these skills by having you explain your thinking, solve open-ended problems, and analyze why certain answers are correct. Over time, you build stronger scientific intuition and learn to approach unfamiliar questions systematically. These skills not only improve your competition performance but also prepare you for advanced science courses and STEM careers.
