Science is often the students favorite class yet at times the scientific process can be the most challenging one. Science involves math, memorization and abstract thinking. Students enjoy science because it helps make sense of the world around them and challenges them to think for themselves. The knowledgeable and experienced tutors at Know It All Tutors share in this enthusiasm and want to help your student develop both conceptual thinking and an understanding of practical applications to gain the confidence they need to succeed in the sciences.
Our tutoring program is tailored to meet the needs of each student and their course requirements. We understand that children learn in their own way, at their own pace, so work with you and your child to determine their specific needs.
Our goal is to give your student a complete understanding of the science which they are studying.
Middle School Science Tutoring
Know It All tutors prepares your pre-teen for the more advanced sciences they will encounter in high school and college. Know It All Tutors assists in this process by breaking down these concepts into bite size pieces. We also help them hone other skills such as note taking, a skill many students have not yet mastered at this age. We have found that students don’t necessarily struggle with the science concepts themselves; but rather, how they organize and study that information.
Some of the subjects we focus on with many of our middle school science students include:
- Scientific method
- Hypothesis
- Conclusions
- Testing
- Experiments
- Writing of experiments
- Memorization of key science terms
- Scientific notation
- Time scale/geologic time
- History of the universe
- Introduction to chemistry
- The periodic table

High School Chemistry Tutoring
Forget all the horror films you’ve seen with Bunsen burners on full steam and concoctions of all sorts bubbling over in test tubes. High school chemistry classes are generally a bit more sedate. The main purpose of high school chemistry is the study of matter, the reactions of that matter when mixed with other elements, and the changes that matter undergoes. Chemistry classes give students a strong foundation to succeed in more advanced science courses they may encounter in college and beyond.
Our chemistry tutors work with your high school student helping them to:
- Understand what chemistry is and why it’s important
- Develop the skills necessary to grasp the basic chemical reactions that occur in all living things
- Utilize effective study skills
- Master key concepts in Chemistry, such as: the periodic table, chemical compounds, reactions and bonds.
