Science Tutoring

Sign up

Explore, experiment, and engage with the world—one question at a time.

Program Overview

Our Science Tutoring Program helps students develop a strong foundation in scientific understanding through curiosity-driven, hands-on learning. Whether your child is exploring the life cycle of a plant, the phases of the moon, or the basics of energy and force, this class connects classroom topics to real-world experiences.

Led by trained high school volunteers, each lesson is tailored to the student’s level and blends Ontario Curriculum content with enrichment activities like mini-experiments, guided inquiry, and problem-solving.

This program builds not only science knowledge—but also critical thinking, curiosity, and a lifelong love of discovery.

What Will Your Child Learn?

Our science curriculum is divided into key learning strands, delivered through engaging discussions, visuals, activities, and projects.

Life Systems

Explore habitats, food chains, the human body, and plant/animal life cycles.

Structures & Mechanisms

Discover how simple machines work and how structures are built and supported.

Earth & Space Systems

Learn about weather, the seasons, the rock cycle, and our solar system.

Environmental Science

Dive into sustainability, pollution, climate change, and how humans impact the Earth.

Matter & Energy

Understand light, sound, heat, forces, motion, and states of matter.

Scientific Inquiry Skills

Practice forming questions, making predictions, running experiments, collecting data, and drawing conclusions.

Learning Levels & Developmental Pathways

Students are placed into one of three levels based on a short science placement activity completed after registration. This helps us understand their background knowledge and place them in the most supportive group.

  • For early learners just beginning to explore the world through science.

    • Focus Areas:

      • The five senses and how we use them to observe the world

      • Nature and animals, including seasons, plants, and weather

      • Introduction to basic materials and their properties

      • Recognizing patterns and asking simple "why" questions

    • Learning Approach:
      Visual storytelling, movement-based activities, and hands-on object exploration

    • Sample Activities:

      • Sorting natural vs. man-made materials

      • Water play and sensory exploration

      • Nature scavenger hunts and weather drawing journals

    • Goals:
      Build foundational science vocabulary, encourage curiosity, and develop observation and comparison skills through fun, age-appropriate learning.

  • For learners ready to deepen their understanding of natural systems and the scientific process.

    • Focus Areas:

      • Life cycles, habitats, food chains, and ecosystems

      • States of matter, properties of solids/liquids/gases

      • Earth systems: soil, water, rock cycle, and climate patterns

      • Energy and forces in everyday life (push/pull, gravity, heat)

      • Beginning to use the scientific method to explore and explain observations

    • Learning Approach:
      Guided experiments, structured investigations, and journaling for observation and reflection

    • Sample Activities:

      • Growing plants and recording their growth

      • Creating a weather tracker

      • Making a basic terrarium to explore habitats

      • Conducting a simple melting/freezing experiment

    • Goals:
      Strengthen understanding of interdependent systems, introduce cause-and-effect logic, and connect classroom science to the real world through observation and experimentation.

  • For advanced learners preparing for high school science through deeper inquiry and applied knowledge.

    • Focus Areas:

      • Forces and motion: friction, gravity, and Newton’s Laws

      • Electricity and magnetism: circuits, conductors, insulators

      • Chemistry foundations: atoms, mixtures, chemical changes, reactions

      • Ecology and environmental science: ecosystems, biodiversity, sustainability

      • Space and Earth systems: planetary motion, weather systems, Earth’s layers

      • Applying the full scientific method to design, test, and explain results

    • Learning Approach:
      Independent and group-based inquiry, lab simulations, critical analysis, and data collection

    • Sample Activities:

      • Designing and testing paper circuits or balloon-powered cars

      • Simulating chemical reactions (e.g., baking soda & vinegar)

      • Building a model of the water cycle or tectonic plates

      • Comparing renewable vs. non-renewable energy systems

    • Goals:
      Prepare students for high school-level thinking by developing skills in hypothesis-testing, experimental design, and scientific communication. Chemistry and data analysis are introduced in engaging, age-appropriate ways.
