To learn chemistry or physics, you must solve as many problems as you possibly can.

Science is much like driving - you can read about it or watch other people do it, but you won't really learn a science until you get behind the wheel and solve problems on your own.

A tutor can smooth over the rough areas and show you strategies and shortcuts that will make things easier. A tutor can point out meanings and connections you might otherwise miss. But the true learning is up to you, the student. Learning requires work. A tutor just makes learning faster.

Think of these months as the opportunity you have in your life to learn about science. This is your time to do it - to learn and grow; to stretch, strengthen, and invigorate your mind.

"Dr. Lowenthal's tutoring was extremely effective. Because of her great experience and deep understanding of science, she was always ready to help me gain the skills I needed.

She let me call her back later at night or email her with last minute questions at no extra cost, and she was always willing to explain things until I understood.

Dr. Lowenthal's tutoring was instrumental in raising not only my chemistry and physics grades, but my confidence as well. She is a calm, patient and understanding tutor and I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling in a challenging subject."
