A guide to private science lessons
Are you seeking guidance on finding tutors and are interested in online tutoring? Are you in search of a physics and chemistry tutor or an A-level physics and maths tutor? You've come to the right place!
Online tutoring for science
To take online science lessons, all you need is an electronic device and internet connection! Whether through a dedicated platform like Skype or Zoom, online tutoring offers flexibility and convenience. Stay focused, create a conducive study space, and engage with your private tutor to maximise learning.
Before selecting a private science tutor, consider your study habits and goals. Determine your ideal study time, short-term objectives, and areas needing improvement. Communicate these preferences to potential tutors to ensure that they can cater to your needs. For example, if you are looking for a physics and chemistry tutor to help you with your GCSE science exams, make sure you choose a tutor that is experienced in these exams and subjects.
Organising your study routine is crucial for success in science. Develop a study timetable, explore supplementary materials, and practise practical exercises and quizzes. Embrace interdisciplinary learning to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
Before you choose a private science tutor...
A private science tutor will guide you in your studies in the best way. This is because science lessons follow a teaching methodology, which helps you to understand the subject and fixate on the content. All this is a step-by-step process to help you in your science exams and other subjects.
But before guiding you, the private teacher needs to know some of your personality traits and the factors that interfere with your studies. That's why we've set aside some questions for you to ask yourself so that you'll be prepared to choose your ideal tutor:
- What time am I most focused when studying? This question is key when booking a private lesson. The best time to study will depend on your routine. If you know you are too tired to pay attention in the evening, it is better to choose another time to study science, as it is a subject that requires concentration.
- Do I have a short-term goal or just want to learn? This will also change the type of lessons you need. For example, if you need private tuition to help you pass your A Levels, your needs will be different from someone who just wants to expand their science knowledge.
- What do I need help with? Before contacting private tutors, you need to know what topics you need help with. This way, your science lessons can be personalised: do you have difficulties with science in general or is it more in the laws of physics or the classification of species? Write down on a piece of paper all the subjects you have doubts about.
- What is the best way to study? Each person has a different way of studying that works for them. It is very common for students to need visual stimuli to understand a subject. Therefore, think about how you learn best so that you can tell this to your private science tutor and they will adapt to the teaching methodology that best suits you.
Ideally, you should answer these questions before looking for science tutors. Remember that tutors are guides, but there is no one better than you to know the best way for you to study.
Tips for science revision
Taking private science classes is not the only thing that will help you get good marks in your GCSEs or A Levels. To pass a science exam you need to be organised when studying. A good way to learn is to apply science to your everyday life. In addition, we have put together some tips to help you do well in your studies and get good grades in your science lessons.
- Study timetable: You should already know that to get the most out of your science classes, you need to be organised in your studies. Therefore, our advice is to make a calendar with all the topics you have to study and the time you need to memorise each one of them. This way, you will have an idea of how much time you need to study per week to get a good grade in the science exam.
- Extra materials: Your private teacher can recommend some science study materials. There are different ways of learning and memorising the subject: some students prefer to listen and then read aloud, others write and draw with the help of colours, and so on. That is why audio-visual aids, such as apps and games for studying science, can make your class more dynamic.
- Practical exercises and quizzes: The best way to learn is to make mistakes. That's why it's so important to do science exercises to retain what you learn in class. You can look for previous tests to answer real exam questions. This way you will put theory into practice and be able to identify your weak areas.
- Combination of different subjects: The advantage of studying science with a tutor is that it connects different concepts from physics and chemistry. This interdisciplinary approach is very important for solving science exam questions as the subjects complement each other.
