1-on-1 Young Scientist Lab: Advanced Independent Investigations

1-on-1 Young Scientist Lab: Advanced Independent Investigations

Private mentoring for ages 12 to 16 who love experiments and are ready to run their own. The learner completes two full investigations with the rigor of a school lab report.

Class Experience

The tutor acts as a lab supervisor. The learner proposes a question, writes a method and risk check, collects data between sessions and brings it for analysis. The tutor pushes on weak points: sample size, uncontrolled variables, and whether the conclusion really follows from the data.

How classes work

Each 55-minute session is one learner with one teacher. There is no fixed lesson plan or set number of sessions: families book as many as they want, and the teacher sets the pace and focus around the learner's goals and gives feedback as they work.

What we can work on

  • Choosing a Question – Propose and refine the first investigation.

  • Method and Risk Check – Write steps, variables and safety notes.

  • Data Review – Check first results for problems.

  • Analysis – Calculate averages and plot graphs.

  • Lab Report – Write up with an evaluated conclusion.

  • Second Investigation Plan – Apply the lessons to a new question.

  • Second Data Review – Analyze and compare with predictions.

  • Final Report and Reflection – Finish the report and review progress.

Parents Often Ask

Anything safe to do at home, from plant growth to bridge strength to reaction speed.

One to two hours a week collecting data and writing.

No. A hands-on experiments class is a better first step.

The price shown is for one session. There is no fixed number of sessions: book as many as you want, and move a session to another time if a week does not work.

Yes. The first session checks what your child already knows, and the plan is adjusted from there.
