What does it mean to be a scientific thinker? Science is all around us – affecting us every day, directly and indirectly.
Science tutoring allows us to break down the scientific process and tap into a greater understanding of the world and the things we do not know. Over time, scientific thinking becomes more and more accessible.
We offer support in several science subjects. Some of them include:
This list is not exhaustive. Our tutors are ready to help you succeed in various classes at different levels. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, reach out to see if we can help.

At Emergent Education, we teach students what it means to be a scientific thinker. We break down the scientific process and sharpen critical thinking skills to help students feel more confident in their academic abilities.
Many students entering higher level Science classes find themselves in a lab setting or project-based learning for the first time in their academic career.
This transition can bring up negative feelings towards the subject if the student is not well-equipped with the skills they need to succeed in their science classes.
Like math, many students come to us with a negative outlook on Science. Whether it’s a lack of understanding they feel or a general doubt in their ability to succeed, the overwhelming majority of our Science students are in need of a mindset shift as well as coaching on key academic skills.
Common struggles students face in their science classes are:
Addressing these struggles sets students up for success in their science classes and gives them the confidence to embark on the path of scientific discovery alongside their peers.
Science is all about how we advance our understanding of things we do not know or do not yet know fully. The scientific method provides us the process to discover a new level of understanding.
At Emergent Education, our tutors work with students to cultivate critical thinking skills and utilize available resources, leaving them empowered to learn and discover the world around them.
Instilling that confidence is often the first step to effective learning. From there, we assess the student’s academic skills and determine to what extent valuable elements of academic coaching need to be layered into their learning plan.
For example, a student writing a lab report for the first time might benefit from our Portland biology tutoring services.
Does the student know how to read the rubric?
Can they understand what’s expected of them?
Do they know what they will be graded on?
Reading a syllabus, understanding expectations, and writing lab reports are examples of key academic skills needed for success in most science subjects. Our tutors work with students on these important academic skills in addition to solving content-specific questions with the student.
