Beginner Level
This class session is to meet the tutor and discuss what Science-related topic the student wishes to discuss. General Science, Life Science, Physical Science, Biology, and Advanced Biology Topics are welcome. The student is to enroll and then send the specifics they choose to discuss with the tutor 48 hours before the meeting. Many students approach me with topics that can be confusing to understand. One such topic is DNA. Breaking down how DNA is located in the cell and manages to code for specific proteins has been a most wanted topic. In Physical Science, another favorite topic is how the periodic table relates to atoms, molecules, and compounds. So many students get lost in learning facts but never understand the why and flow of the processes. This is where I come in and break it down for them. This session may also determine if the student wants to commit to a 16 or 20-week session with this instructor. The instructor can meet and greet the students, assess a student, or inform them of the format they will use when doing a whole course with this teacher. *Si Hablo Español
