Tutoría de ciencias personalizada: sesiones personalizadas y continuas para el éxito

Learners will receive small group tutoring.  I will be able to help your learner grow their science knowledge in all areas of science, including Physical Science,  Earth and Space Science, Life Science and Nature of Science! 

This class is aimed to work with students who are between grades 5th-8th or 11-14 years old. Once you sign your learner up, I will communicate with you to determine the needs of your learner.

Specific topics I will have plenty of help and information for are:
