Laboratory Tutoring FAQ
Laboratory classes bring to light one of the hardest parts of academic education, which is the translation of course concepts into a practical environment. Though the theoretical basis of your course topics may seem clear on paper and your exams may have gone smoothly in the past, the experimental and hypothesized outcomes in a lab class are rarely in accordance. Whether you are getting your first taste of a laboratory environment in high school or are designing a research project for a graduate thesis, the fickle nature of experimentation can often lend itself to frustration and distress. No matter what field you are working in, 大象传媒 can help you select an experienced tutor to walk you through procedures, analyses, and results.
Each particular field of science carries its own laboratory nuances. You may be required to handle live animals in a biology lab or volatile chemicals in chemistry. Physics labs often require complex mathematical analysis of hard data in order to achieve usable results. Regardless what specific challenges you are facing in your course or research, you can connect with a tutor who has experience in your field. Many instructors hold degrees in their respective fields, and several work in education or research. By learning techniques and procedural steps from those who have already mastered the skills themselves, you can improve your lab skills in an effective and practical way.
大象传媒 offers to connect you with the most qualified private instructors. All of the available tutors have been subject to the strict qualification process of 大象传媒. The screening process includes a background check. Only the best make it beyond this point. 大象传媒 introduces students to award-winning test prep and academic tutoring services.

Tutoring has many benefits for students. Chief among them is the offering of a personalized, systematic, and structured learning environment. There's very few ways to obtain one-on-one instruction. While teachers must divide their attention between numerous students, tutors can customize lessons and activities just for you. Tutoring is available when it's convenient for you, no matter the season. It's a great way to develop and sustain your skills over the summer months. The learning environment is also free of distractions. You're the only student.
The tutors take into account your specific course, learning style, and your strengths and weaknesses. A tutor can even be tailored to your personality and interests. Helping you choose the right tutor is the main objective of 大象传媒. Private lab tutoring affords you the chance to learn using the methods and pacing that works best for you. Your tutor can construct a unique lesson plan designed around your preferences and suited to the topics needed for your lab course or research project.
Even if you are no longer in school, tutoring can provide you with useful skills to add to your resume before applying for internships and jobs. Plus, it's convenient to schedule your sessions. Lessons take place at the time and location of your choosing, allowing you to meet with your tutor in your own home, a lab classroom at your institution, or even online. Whether you need help understanding the fundamentals of titration or with the procedure for qPCR analysis, a private tutor can help.

Recent Laboratory Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I reviewed the homework exercises I gave him last session on simplifying radicals, factoring polynomials, and solving quadratic equations. 聽Also, worked a few problems from the next set of exercises the student will do between sessions.
The student and I prepared for her Friday test. We focused on graphing inverse trig functions and variations of trig functions, reviewed her new material (addition/subtraction of trig functions), and reviewed proofs.
This week the student's class is working on calculating unit price. 聽She seemed to understand the concepts based on class discussion and the examples in her text book, however, she had a little difficulty when she began the assigned problems. 聽After working through a couple of problems together, she gained more confidence and was able to complete the rest of her assignment on her own. 聽
The student had completed two practice SAT math sections. He correctly identified that his major weaknesses were in geometry and equations with multiple variables, so we focused our work on those question types. Specifically, we worked on angular relationships and writing and solving multiple-variable equations. After walking him through a couple of practice problems, I asked him to complete a few on his own. He performed very well, answering all but one correctly. I encouraged him to complete two more practice sections -- untimed -- before our next session. I also asked him to show all of his work so that we could identify any simple mistakes and work to correct them.
When I first arrived, the student and I discussed his grades. His reading and English grades are still hovering around a 90 and the rest are solid A's. We discussed what issues he is having in those classes and how to be more organized. Then, we worked on a song he had to write for social studies and studied for his math vocabulary quiz.
The student and I continued working on choosing precise language. We completed an activity with verbs. In choosing more precise verbs, one of his struggles was a lack of understanding of the meanings of various words. His answers were accurate on the words that he knew, but incorrect when he had an incorrect understanding of a word's meaning. Once again, we see that he needs to work on vocabulary development. We spent the last few minutes of the session brainstorming ideas for his field trip application essay. He will be able to write a draft this weekend and we will revise on Monday.
