High School Biology Tutors
We offer personalized one-on-one biology tutoring aimed at assisting with homework and exam preparation. Our high school biology tutors have a university degree and a minimum of two years of experience with the Canadian curriculum. Our goal is to help students grasp the biology concepts taught in the classroom and boost their grades for college or university entry.
Online Tutoring
By choosing online biology tutoring, the student has the opportunity to work with one of our top high school biology tutors in Canada. Each tutor has either a university degree, masters, PhD, or teaching certificate. Our interactive online whiteboard lets the student and tutor collaborate in real-time, share assignments, and work through equations together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can tutoring help with high school biology exams?
Tutors provide personalized guidance, helping students review key concepts, practice problem-solving, and develop effective study strategies. They may also provide practice exams tailored to Canadian curriculum standards, such as provincial or AP/IB exams.
What is the difference between tutoring for regular biology and advanced programs like IB or AP Biology?
Tutoring for regular biology focuses on the provincial curriculum, while IB/AP Biology tutoring dives deeper into complex topics and lab work, emphasizing analytical thinking and international standards. Tutors for advanced programs often have specific expertise in those curricula.
How can tutoring help students struggling with lab work?
Tutors can review lab procedures, help students understand experimental design, and assist in analyzing data and writing lab reports. They can also provide practice with virtual labs or simulations if needed.
Can biology tutoring help with university preparation?
Absolutely! Tutors can bridge gaps in knowledge, teach advanced concepts, and assist with applications for programs in life sciences, medicine, or related fields. They may also help students prepare for entrance exams or scholarship applications.
How do biology tutors help with scientific terminology?
Tutors use visual aids, mnemonic devices, and repetition to help students understand and remember scientific terms. They may also provide flashcards or recommend apps for vocabulary practice.
How can I measure the effectiveness of biology tutoring?
Effectiveness can be measured through improvements in test scores, lab report grades, and the student’s confidence and understanding of the material. Regular feedback from the tutor can also indicate progress. We also provide a monthly progress which details the student’s progress and what was accomplished each lesson.
Can biology tutoring help with standardized tests like the SAT Biology Subject Test?
Yes, tutors experienced in standardized tests can help students prepare for the SAT Biology Subject Test by covering test-specific content, teaching test-taking strategies, and providing practice tests.
What do tutors do when the student is falling behind in biology?
Tutors assess the student’s challenges, revisit foundational concepts, and provide targeted practice. They also focus on rebuilding confidence and setting achievable goals.
