Chemistry Tutoring for Online Classes

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

More and more high school students are taking college courses online, and my Santa Barbara chemistry tutors are happy to help.  Of course, my Santa Barbara math and physics tutors are also on hand for online classes.  Many kids need a tutor to help with pacing and organization – as well as content – when they head to cyberspace for learning.   Self-paced online classes can be a blessing or a curse.  If a student procrastinates (never!) it can be quite a marathon to complete a course in order to meet a deadline for their school.  Those five-hour tutoring sessions are a serious brain twister!

Go get wet!

Not only do we live in paradise, but we’re blessed with abundant learning resources.  Here are my personal favorites for homeschoolers (or anyone!) studying oceans and sea ecosystems:

Ty Warner Sea Center   211 Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara

An interactive marine learning center perched above the ocean. Try working like scientists, sampling and testing ocean water, studying animal behavior, and examining microscopic marine life.

 Santa Barbara Adventure Company - Ocean Kayak Tours

The Santa Barbara coast offers incredible kayaking for adults and kids (age 8 & older).  Once you’re out on the water, knowledgeable guides point out marine ecology and natural history along the way. You can spot dolphins, sea lions, marine birds and whales during their migration.

Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History

Small and utterly charming, yet its shell collection is among the most significant in the country.  Exhibit halls on marine life, birds, mammals, insects, and famous for its life-size blue whale skeleton.

And by the way, Spark Tutors has excellent Santa Barbara biology tutors and AP environmental science tutors for you central coast scholars!
