Online Science Tutor — Certified Canadian Teachers
12 certified teachers available for 1-on-1 online sessions, $45–$55/hr.
Genie matches your child with an online science tutor who is a certified Canadian teacher, not a generalist. Lessons are 1-on-1 and online, built around the science course your child is taking right now — from elementary science through Ontario's de-streamed Grade 9 course and the Grade 10 strands that lead into biology, chemistry and physics.

Science courses our teachers cover
Tell us the grade and the course, and Genie matches you with a science tutor online in Canada who teaches it.
Ontario and Canadian general science courses introduce scientific inquiry alongside topics in matter, energy, living systems, Earth, and space. One-on-one tutoring helps students connect vocabulary and models to the evidence, calculations, and questions used in their classroom work.
- Grade 1 to 8 scienceWhere the vocabulary, the diagrams, and the habit of explaining evidence are first built.
- Grade 9 Science (SNC1W)Ontario's de-streamed Grade 9 course, in effect since 2022: STEM skills, careers and connections, biology, chemistry, physics, and earth and space science.
- Grade 10 Science (SNC2D, SNC2P)Tissues, organs and systems of living things; chemical reactions; climate change; and light and geometric optics.
- Where Grade 10 leadsGrade 10 academic science is the prerequisite route into Grade 11 biology, chemistry and physics — each with its own teacher list on Genie.
- Grade 12 Science (SNC4M, SNC4E)Ontario's Grade 12 general science courses, covering medical technologies, pathogens and disease, nutritional science, and biotechnology.
- The two compulsory science creditsOntario requires two science credits to earn the secondary school diploma.
- Labs, unit tests, and final examsLab write-ups, diagrams and calculations, past tests, and exam review on the student's own course material.
Course codes and strands follow the Ontario Ministry of Education's science curriculum.

Science tutoring FAQ
What does an online science tutor help with?
A Science teacher can review course concepts, explain scientific vocabulary and diagrams, support lab write-ups, and practise applying evidence to written answers.
How much does an online science tutor cost?
Rates vary by teacher and are shown on each teacher's card and profile.
Are Genie science teachers certified teachers?
Teachers display their teaching certifications on their profiles, so families can review the credentials shown for each teacher before choosing.
Which science courses do you cover?
Teachers cover elementary science through Grade 12, including Ontario's de-streamed Grade 9 course (SNC1W), Grade 10 science (SNC2D, SNC2P), and the Grade 12 general science courses (SNC4M, SNC4E). Biology, chemistry and physics each have their own teacher list on Genie.
Can a science teacher help with labs and exam prep?
Yes. A teacher can work through lab write-ups, diagrams and calculations, past unit tests, and exam review using the student's own course material.
How many science credits does Ontario require?
Two. The Ontario Secondary School Diploma requires two compulsory science credits, which is why Grade 9 and Grade 10 science matter to every student rather than only to future scientists.
How is a certified teacher different from a regular science tutor?
A certified teacher is trained to teach a curriculum and assess it, not only to know the subject. Each Genie profile lists the teaching certifications that teacher has on file, so families can compare credentials before choosing.
