" The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.  If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living." - Jules -Henri Poincare

If you love nature and you want to pursue a career in natural sciences, follow your passion.

"I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it." - Robert M. Sapolsky

When is it Necessary to Hire a Private Biology Tutor?

There are many reasons why a person might require the services of a private tutor. Perhaps he or she is struggling at school, or is doing very well and gets bored easily in class. Perhaps they are a bit shy and just need help to build their confidence regarding a particular subject. In other cases, the student's parents don't have the time to help with homework.

Private tutors are necessary because everyone learns differently, but not everyone has access to a teacher with an effective teaching style at school. With lessons from a qualified tutor, a student can improve their grades and learn English, biology or maths in a shorter period of time.

A tutor, whether in mathematics, biology or any other subject gives students the individualised attention they may not receive in a crowded classroom. So kids who have difficulty keeping up, as well as those who are unmotivated feel listened to and appreciated when they have one-on-one lessons with a private teacher.

"Science is the acceptance of what works and the rejection of what does not. That needs more courage than we might think." - Jacob Bronowski

Motivation is one of the most important things in learning. As human beings, we are intrinsically curious and willing to learn all the time. However, the social context and pressure of a classroom impact our motivation. As a consequence, we don't exploit our potential and may not perform well at school or university. Therefore,  private tuition could be the solution. Each lesson makes accelerated progress for the student.

Private tutoring is important because it can help students to develop study and learning skills that they may not be able to develop at school.  In this sense, private lessons will prepare them for lifelong success. In addition, private instructors strengthen a student's understanding of a particular subject, as well as improving their academic performance, self-esteem and confidence.

Why Choose Online Biology Lessons?

"The illiterate of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." - Alvin Toffler
