In this class your student will receive one-on-one tutoring from the teacher who has information, experience, and loads of bad puns! As a Certified Life Science teacher and former 8th grade science teacher, I will be able to help your student in multiple areas including Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, Astronomy, Biology, and more! 

This class is aimed to work with students who are between grades 6th-8th or 11-14 years old. 

Once you sign your learner up, expect a message from the teacher to discuss your student’s needs!
