Does your science tutoring follow the BC curriculum?
Yes. Our tutors follow the BC science curriculum for each grade, so sessions match what your child is learning in class and help with homework, projects and unit tests.
When should my child start science tutoring?
Many families start in Grades 6 to 8, when science becomes more abstract with physics, chemistry and cells. Tutoring is also helpful earlier to build confidence, or in Grade 9 to prepare for Science 10 and senior courses.
Do you offer in-person or online science tutoring?
Both. Students can meet their tutor in person at our learning centre in North Vancouver, or join one-on-one online sessions from anywhere in BC.

Science Tutoring by Grade
Elementary Science Tutor (Grades 1–5)
Young students learn science best by asking questions and trying things. We keep sessions hands-on and curious: plants and animals, weather, simple machines, the human body. Along the way we build the reading and writing skills they need to explain what they found.
Grade 4 Science Tutor
Grade 4 is often the first year science asks for real explanations instead of just answers. We help your child read the textbook carefully, organize what they learn, and talk about it with confidence.
Grade 6 Science Tutor
In Grade 6, topics like electricity, the solar system and body systems get more detailed. We break each unit into clear steps and practise the vocabulary, so tests and projects feel manageable.
Grade 7 Science Tutor
Grade 7 brings more independent work, including lab reports, research projects and bigger tests. We help students plan their projects, write clear reports and study in a way that sticks.
Grade 8 Science Tutor
Grade 8 is the bridge to high school science. Chemistry, physics and biology start to look like separate subjects. We make sure the foundations are solid before Grade 9, especially the math skills that science now depends on.
Grades 9–10 Science
We cover the full BC Science 9 and 10 curriculum: atoms and chemical reactions, energy, genetics and ecosystems, with steady test preparation.
Grades 11–12: Biology, Chemistry and Physics
Senior students can work with a subject specialist. See our Biology, Chemistry and Physics tutoring pages.
