Five Ways Stemly’s Online Math and Science Tutoring Makes a Difference, According to Our Students
Most of the time, students and parents think of tutoring as a last resort. A lifeline when grades start slipping, and students start to lose interest in their studies because they can’t seem to see any improvements no matter how hard they try. And we agree–the right tutor can make a huge difference in your learning journey. But here at Stemly, we also believe that our online math and science tutoring is not only for students who are facing difficulties with their studies.
Our highly trained online math and science tutors dedicate themselves to ensuring our students succeed in school–whether that means turning those Ds into As or providing support to students aiming for top honors. Wondering how Stemly can help you in your academic journey? Let our students’ stories answer that for you!
1. Stemly makes sure you don’t fall behind in class.
It’s normal for students to experience challenges in school and fall behind from time to time. Maybe you’re having trouble dedicating more time to study new content because of extra-curricular activities. Or you’re focusing too much on one subject, causing you to sacrifice your performance in your other classes. In these cases, you can find a way to prevent the situation from worsening. You can re-evaluate your schedule or speak with your teacher about doing extra work to catch up.
But in other instances, your school performance can suffer because of something beyond your control. Like what happened to 10th-grader Brody, who was struggling with his Algebra 2 class after being away from school for almost a month due to an illness. Brody had difficulty keeping up with his schoolwork, which eventually resulted in his grades dropping significantly. He and his mother Shannon C. turned to Stemly’s Algebra 2 tutoring for help, where he was matched with our amazing tutor Madeline. And with her guidance, Brody was able to turn things around.
“Working with Madeline, usually to review before a test, his grades (Ds and Fs) quickly improved, culminating with an A on the final and a B in the class,” Shannon shares. “Madeline is an excellent tutor. She was able to relate the material to our son and used the technology to make the virtual tutoring environment seamless. We highly recommend Madeline at Stemly Tutoring.”
2. Stemly provides comprehensive support for your advanced classes.
One of Stemly’s goals is for our students to develop a passion for STEM learning. It gives us great pride to see them excelling and having fun in subjects they once struggled with. But one thing that makes us equally excited is helping students who are challenging themselves.
Stemly’s online math and science tutoring is designed to help not only students who need extra support in meeting the demands of their STEM curriculum but also to guide those who are pushing themselves to the top. Tutoring doesn’t only benefit students who need to fill some gaps in their studies. It’s also for learners who are doing well but wish to do even better.
A great example is our student Avery M., a 10th-grader working with our Chemistry tutor Will for his Honors Chemistry class. He credits Will’s Chemistry tutoring and passion for the subject for helping improve not only his grades but also his confidence. “I know that I can rely on Will to always give clear explanations and conceptual connections,” says Avery. “As I near the end of the year with my improved grade, I know I will turn to Stemly’s aid if I need any STEM-related help in my AP classes in the future.”
3. Stemly tutors foster genuine connections that help make learning more fun and engaging.
One of the important factors that can make or break your tutoring experience is how well you and your tutor get along. Aside from the usual expectations students and parents have of their tutor–being knowledgeable, an expert in the subject, and highly trained–it’s just as crucial to consider their personality and whether or not it matches with the student’s. An effective tutor must not only be professional, intelligent, and experienced, they must also be enthusiastic, open-minded, adaptable, and able to connect and empathize with their students.
This is one of the things we carefully consider before assigning a tutor to any of our students. We take the time to get to know you–your learning style, needs, and interests–and make sure we find the math and science tutor that matches and complements your personality. We believe in building genuine friendships and connections with our students. It helps us create a comfortable and nurturing environment that makes our students look forward to the time spent learning.
Laura, whose son and daughter have been working with our tutors Breona and Meg for Algebra 1 tutoring and AP Physics 1 tutoring, respectively, praises Stemly’s tutors for their strong academic qualifications and bond with her children. “My kids have been working with Alexa’s team over the past couple of months in math and science. Both experiences have been great and are tailored to the needs of my kids and areas they need support,’’ she shares. “But they also connect with my kids and are very good teachers. I highly recommend Stemly Tutoring if you are looking for additional support for your kids.”
4. Stemly helps you reach your goals and prepare for your academic future.
Parents place great value on their children’s education because it prepares them for the future and sets them up for success. And while it’s true that there are plenty of other factors that can determine success or define it, we can’t discount the role that having a strong academic background plays when it comes to getting opportunities.
Working with a tutor improves every student’s chances of reaching the goals they set for themselves–whether that’s graduating with honors, getting accepted to their dream school, or meeting the requirements for the major they wish to pursue. It also eases the pressure that always comes with knowing that your academic performance and decisions today will impact your future. Melany N., who first came to Stemly as a 12th grader looking for Trigonometry tutoring help for her Math Analysis class, can attest to this.
Melany graduated with Honors after acing Math Analysis with the help of Stemly’s trigonometry tutors.
Speaking about her Trigonometry tutoring experience with our tutor Breona, she says, “Without you, I probably wouldn’t have passed Math Analysis, but I did! Yay! I got an 80 percent on my math final, thanks to you. I also committed to Cal State Fullerton (my dream school) to major in communication disorders, so I could hopefully become a speech therapist.”
To top it all off, Melany shares that she graduated with honors and tells Breona, “I truly couldn’t have done all this without you.”
5. Stemly’s online math and science tutoring is just as effective as in-person tutoring.
If there’s one thing we have learned over the past couple of years, it’s that with commitment and the right tools and technology, learning can be just as effective when done online. Stemly’s online math and science tutoring affords students the flexibility and convenience to learn on their own time without sacrificing the quality of the instruction they receive.
“Even though my tutoring sessions were online, I still felt like I was actually with her [Stemly tutor Breona] during my Zoom meetings. I’m sure that if I were in-person, it would be equally as valuable and equally as helpful,” notes Melany N. “Being a senior in high school, I was really nervous about asking for math help, but Stemly made me feel seen and made math tutoring fun for me.”
