Ascendant Tutoring offers academic assistance and services for all topics offered up to the 12th grade. For more information, see below:
AP and IB COURSES
Students take AP and IB courses for a variety of reasons: special interest or ability in a topic, an effort to burnish transcripts for college admissions, or a desire to get a head start on college level work. Whatever the motivation, many students are unprepared for the rigors. Ascendant Tutoring offers assistance with all English, History and Social Science, Science, Mathematics and Computer Science, AP and IB exams.
social studies
Students are required to take social studies courses - in history, geography, sociology, government, economics, law, and various other subject areas - throughout their entire academic careers. Courses vary in complexity from elementary to Regents and Advanced Placement (AP) level materials, and students are often expected to write longer and more difficult essays in these classes than they are in any other. If you or your child is a student who needs help with a social studies course or exam, Ascendant Tutoring can help.
English Language Arts
English education is a part of every student's life, and since the recent implementation of Common Core standards, English requirements and skills are now present in every subject (even math!). Moreover, speaking, reading, writing, and understanding English are essential for anyone who wants to be successful in the United States. Our experienced tutors can help you or your children with any level of English literature, language, grammar, rhetoric, writing, or other related skills. To learn how we can help you develop your English skills, please contact us.
Mathematics
Ascendant Tutoring offers students assistance with all levels of mathematics: from basic arithmetic, algebra and problem solving, to geometry and trigonometry, up through advanced calculus. We also offer special programs for ambitious students who want to move ahead with their studies and learn more advanced math; our tutors have special experience dealing with youngsters who want to get a year or more ahead with their mathematics studies.
Science
Ascendant prides itself on the quality and depth of its science tutoring staff. Many have advanced degrees from prestigious universities, and all have extensive teaching and tutoring experience. If you or your child is struggling with Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, or any other level or area of science education, basic or Advanced Placement (AP) level, we are here to help.
