We all have a different learning process. Struggling to learn material and dealing with confusion is extremely frustrating and can tempt students to just give up. Sometimes we don't even know what we don't know: misunderstanding is an easy mistake to make and a difficult one to fix. A tutor can guide the student through the difficult material and identify any misunderstandings before the exam.
The curricula for science classes are very intense and cover a great deal of information in a short period of time. Every unit builds upon the previous and a little bit of confusion can quickly become a big problem. Once a student falls behind, for any reason, it becomes increasingly difficult to catch up.
One-on-one tutoring can help a student keep up to date and be comfortable with the current material before more advanced topics are covered in class. Class sessions move quickly and often there isn't enough time to answer all students' questions. A tutor that can offer a different perspective and an explanation tailored to the student's specific questions can be a great asset for success.
Major exams such as finals, AP exams, and SAT subject tests are cumulative. It is critical for a student to have a thorough review that covers all of the important topics and clears up any points of confusion. A tutor can ensure that the student has the comprehensive understanding of the material necessary for success.
