Biology and Science Tutoring for Ontario Grades 9 to 12
We match your teen with a graduate-level tutor who finds where SBI3U, SBI4U or Grade 9 and 10 science marks slip and rebuilds those topics, all semester.
SBI3U · SBI4U · One-on-one
From $47.50/hr · Lessons usually start within 2 to 3 days
Where biology and science marks are usually lost
And how a tutor fixes them
The amount of biology to learn jumps in Grade 11. SBI3U covers genetics, evolution and animal body systems, and SBI4U goes molecular: biochemistry, metabolism and gene expression. Many nursing and life science programs require SBI4U. We also tutor every unit of Grade 9 and 10 science. A slipping mark usually comes down to a few fixable topics, not a student who is bad at science.
Genetic crosses in SBI3U
Metabolic pathways in SBI4U
Chemistry and optics in SNC2D
Dihybrid and sex-linked crosses chain several steps, so one wrong gamete or misread symbol throws off the final ratio. A tutor rebuilds the setup from alleles to gametes to Punnett square, then practises mixed problems until they are routine.
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis ask students to track carbon, electrons and ATP through several stages in different parts of the cell, and the stages blur together. A tutor builds one clear map of each pathway, then drills exam questions.
Grade 10 science changes topic every few weeks, and marks usually drop in chemistry (naming compounds, balancing equations) and optics (ray diagrams for mirrors and lenses). A tutor rebuilds each skill step by step, then practises test questions.

Meet some of our biology and science tutors
Graduate-level and triple-vetted
Every tutor is a Master's, PhD or medical student, or a recent graduate, vetted in three steps. Students keep the same tutor all semester, and if the fit is not right, we match them with another.
Heloisa Burian
MSc Candidate, Antibiotic Resistance Research
Heloisa is an MSc student researching how bacteria resist antibiotics, holds a Biology degree from Carleton and tutors high school and university students.
Alisina Fatemi
MD Candidate, Medicine
Alisina, a medical student with a BSc in Neuroscience and Psychology from the University of Toronto, tutors biology, chemistry and math.
Thaina Ferraz
PhD Candidate, Health Sciences
Thaina is a third-year Health Sciences PhD student researching maternal and fetal health, holds a Master's in Biosciences and tutors biology and chemistry.
Shri Ramesh
PhD Candidate, Biomedical Engineering
Shri is a Biomedical Engineering PhD student researching AI in healthcare, with at least five years of tutoring experience.

What Families Say
Biology and science tutoring questions, answered
How quickly can my child start with a biology or science tutor?
Tutoring can usually start within 2 to 3 days. Request a Tutor online with one short form, or book a free, no-obligation consultation if you would like to talk first. Your child keeps the same tutor all semester.
Who are the biology and science tutors?
Our biology and science tutors are Master's, PhD and medical students and graduates from uOttawa and Carleton, with backgrounds in biology, neuroscience, health sciences and biomedical engineering. Every tutor is vetted in three steps, and we switch tutors if the fit is not right.
Are lessons online or in person?
All lessons are live online and one-on-one. Tutor and student work on an interactive whiteboard, which suits Punnett squares, labelled body-system diagrams and metabolic pathway maps. Each session is recorded, and a summary and notes are shared afterwards.
Does SBI4U matter for university admission?
For many programs, yes. Many Ontario nursing, life science and health science programs require SBI4U, and a required course counts in the admission average even if it is not among the student's top six marks. Requirements vary by program, so check each one early.
When should we start biology or science exam prep?
Start at least three weeks before the final, ideally four. From 2026-27, SBI3U and SBI4U end with a mandatory written exam worth 25% of the mark (20% in SNC1W and SNC2D). Prep begins with a full-course diagnostic, then targets the biggest gaps with spaced review.
Can the tutor help with the chemistry and physics units in Grade 9 and 10 science?
Yes. SNC1W and SNC2D mix biology, chemistry, physics and Earth and space science, and sessions follow whichever unit your child is in, from atoms and circuits to optics and climate change. Tutors also help with unit tests, lab reports and homework.
