Biology is the science that students have the easiest time relating to since some of the topics apply to students themselves! Each piece of this class is designed to provide a basis for the last (typically) section, the human body. Without a firm understanding of the early pieces, students can quickly lose the point of study and consequently their motivation. Our biology tutors help students see each piece of biology class apply to themselves. Whether we are talking about cells or the nitrogen cycle, humans are heavily invested in how all of life on earth works.
Why Biology Tutoring Works
Biology concepts are mostly arranged as knowledge and comprehension lessons. There is very little problem solving, but there is ample vocabulary to still make the class require your full attention. Start by reviewing the vocabulary every night. Find a system that works for you, but include some review of biology terms each night. Repetition = retention. During class time try to think of new concepts as building on other things you have learned so far. Biology builds in a very systematic way and each piece relates the previous topic with the next one. Find a way to organize the ideas and you will find yourself improving dramatically.
Biology Can Be Your Favorite High School Subject!
More than any other science class, biology has the chance to directly relate to students while they are taking the class. Chemistry and physics tend to explain what is happening in a laboratory, where as biology concepts can be seen 24/7 for each student and can be applied over a lifetime. This ability to relate gives biology the potential to be the most interesting class students take at the time. If done properly, every lesson in biology can be seen by a student before they even make it to the next class!
