Science can be defined as the method, process, procedure, and system used to study the physical world. It can be broken up into three main categories (biology, chemistry and physics) although there are concepts that are shared between the categories. Mathematics is an important tool not only for science, but also for developing problem solving skills for situations in the real world. Learning science and math can help students by providing a platform for learning English, as well as develop an analytical and logical mind.

Science is an excellent vehicle for learning English. Learning scientific terminology can naturally expand a student’s vocabulary and subsequently his/her reading comprehension efficiency. It is also an excellent way to prepare a student’s future educational endeavour as science is a basic foundation subject for entering a vast majority of disciplines in tertiary education.

In addition, mathematics and science can help students to develop an analytical mind to separate fact from fiction. Understanding the scientific method will allow students to test proposed theories and provide reasons based on logic rather than opinion. The student can then further prove the reasoning by applying mathematics. Development of an analytical mind can also help to support learning mathematics in terms of providing reasoning and deduction skills.

Brighten offers science and mathematics based tutorials for individuals and groups, which cover a range of topics and levels such as the KS1-3, IGCSE, A-Levels and IB. The tutorials can be tailor made to improve upon already existing knowledge and help your child achieve a higher understanding or create a better foundation for further studies.
