Thirty minutes outside of Denver, Boulder sits at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With thousands of acres of open space, the stunning mountain views can be seen from various vantage points including Bear Peak and Flagstaff Mountain. Boulder is known for its arts, local culture, and educational excellence. With the downtown Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra and Pearl Street Mall, visitors can enjoy a classic show and fine dining options within the same area. In 2013, Boulder was featured as one of the best places for business and careers in Forbes magazine, making this a hotspot for young entrepreneurs and college grads. One of the focal points of the city includes the University of Colorado Boulder campus. Being the biggest university in the state, many college-bound high school students in the Boulder Valley School district find themselves applying there during their senior year of high school. For students attending one of the fourteen high schools in Boulder, competition has become increasingly competitive at the next level.
For more than ten years, Mindfish has established itself as the leading academic tutoring service company in the nearby Boulder area. We have fully immersed ourselves with the local student community. Our board of certified tutors stands ready to help your child excel in challenging subjects in the sciences such as Physics and Chemistry. The wide array of tutoring classes at Mindfish will propel your child into the future with the skills they need to be successful in today’s evolving learning environment.
Why Do Students Struggle with Chemistry?
Basic Chemistry may be first introduced in the later stages of middle school science classes and progressing into General Chemistry high school courses. Students often find themselves struggling because of the abstract subjects and mix of Chemistry lectures and labs. Combining reading comprehension skills from English class and concepts in math such as units of measure and algebra, Chemistry presents challenging complicated text-book language and homework problems using the scientific method or digesting the periodic table. As a result, many Denver high school students who struggle with either math or English find concepts in Chemistry much more difficult. Needing to go back and re-master basic skills and concepts in Algebra can put students behind and at a disadvantage for upcoming subject-tests and AP exams.
At Mindfish, we have made it our goal to support your student in all subjects, ranging anywhere from Algebra to Chemistry. We understand that high-schoolers enrolled in Chemistry need time to absorb and process topics including atomic structure and the Lewis Theory. Our Chemistry tutors take the necessary time out to go back and revisit topics in math or English to better refine your student’s skills and comprehension. With our one-on-one tutoring sessions available in-person or online, your child will receive the personalized attention they need to tackle in-class lab exams, projects, and homework.
How Can Remote Chemistry Tutoring Help My Child?
Chemistry tutoring will not only help students earn higher exam grades, but it will amplify their understanding of long-form open-ended questions and abstract-subject comprehension. Virtual Tutoring in the sciences such as Chemistry will give your student a well-rounded foundation to take with them post-graduation. This can also open them up to the world of science-based majors/minors and high paying job opportunities. Students looking to take the ACT, however, should note that this standardized exam features sections about the sciences and may include concepts in Chemistry. Boulder Junior and Senior year high school students should also look into the required coursework at universities they wish to apply to. Many colleges require a course in Chemistry or Biology as a general education requirement and getting a head start in high school can set students up for long-term success.
The Mindfish online team at Boulder goes above and beyond average homework help. We aim to transform the way students look at science-based courses by using fun supplemental learning techniques to peak interest and understanding. Your child will be paired with a master Chemistry tutor. Not only do we focus on subject learning and retention, but we will also work with your child on their cognitive learning behaviors or learning disabilities to better build a specific study plan.
