Experience
All students have the potential to excel in Science and Math. With over 10 years of experience working with middle, high school and university level students, we have developed tools and models for helping students understand Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math up to and beyond Calculus. Our specialized approach and workflow is designed to give students manageable sections of new material while regularly returning and reinforcing basic concepts. Although we are located in Ashland Oregon we serve the entire Rogue Valley including Medford, Phoenix, Talent and Central Point. Since we have multiple tutors, we can fit nearly any schedule and price range. Additionally, we understand that not every student learns from every tutor, our collection of tutors allows us to match the correct tutor to students. Best of all, mention our special -- Learn* -- and your first tutoring hour is free, so you get to try out your new tutor before you pay a dime. With backgrounds in Biochemistry & Molecular/Cellular Biology, our tutors have worked hard to achieve the highest levels of scientific understanding. Additionally we have tutors completing degrees in Math Education, ensuring we are employing the latest pedagogy (holistic science of education) in our approach. We also have tutors who have completed coursework in Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology and Calculus based Physics. Many of our tutors continue to act as teaching assistants and mentors for General Biology, Organic and General Chemistry and Mathematics at Southern Oregon University and work with high school teachers throughout the Rogue Valley to develop interesting curriculum. Finally, our tutors receive additional training through ProLiteracy and the National Resource Service Center.
