About Us catalyst icon

The science classroom can be a frustrating place for many students, and for teachers as well. With a vast array of needs, too many students and not enough time, the education system tries, but does not guarantee success for all students. While most tutors tout their academic qualifications, as experienced experimental classroom instructors, Kelly and Gwen understand the nuances of the learning process in addition to mastery of the content. We have experience facilitating success from the basic understanding of science to college level, with expertise in biology, chemistry., physics and environmental science.

A master teacher is more than a tutor, they can...

  • Quickly ascertain student understanding and abilities.
  • Scaffold and strategize instruction to capitalize on those abilities.
  • Assess understanding and realign teaching/learning strategies in real time.
  • Develop confidence while supporting difficult and complex tasks.
  • Develop learning and study skills to move students toward academic independence.
  • Provide exam, assessment and standards guidance with the nuance that is developed over years of teaching.

    Academic support outside of the classroom needs to be sustained and process- oriented. This is not simply homework help often provided by basic tutoring services. Successful academic support will help an individual to develop a growth mindset and lifelong love of learning. Skills and talents can be cultivated and developed so that a student grows and thrives whatever their starting point. This is why we believe in the power of local educators, trained and skilled in the art of teaching, familiar with the strengths and challenges of our community.

    Development of a growth mindset and love of lifelong learning takes a team. Parents, let us support you to help your student grow to become:

  • Inquisitive, thoughtful and reflective
  • An academic risk-taker
  • Confident and independent in pursuit of knowledge
  • Principled and honest in learning
  • Proud of their work and growth
