How lessons work
- Every idea starts with something your child already knows, from the kitchen, the garden or the sky, before any new words.
- Simple experiments with things you already have at home make lessons hands on, even online.
- Your child explains what they think will happen and why, which builds the reasoning secondary school science depends on.

What parents say
The tutors have been outstanding, patient, professional, and deeply committed. I would wholeheartedly recommend Masani to any parent looking to see tangible improvement in their children's learning journey.
Since I started using this service, my child's performance has improved. The lesson teacher is good at what she does, and I have recommended their services to other parents and will continue to do so.
Our daughter gets excited to connect with her Masani tutor. Her attitude toward learning mathematics has changed completely. Her self-confidence has increased and she is eager to learn new concepts.
Frequently asked questions
What ages is this science tutoring for?
Children aged 5 to 11: Years 1 to 6 in England, Primary 1 to 7 in Scotland, and Kindergarten to Grade 5 in the US and Canada. From around age 11 we teach biology, chemistry and physics as separate subjects.
Can young children learn science online?
Yes. Lessons are short, lively and full of things to look at and try. Teachers use pictures, videos and household experiments, and keep young children talking rather than just listening.
Which curricula do your teachers follow?
Your child's own: the UK National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 and 2, US state science standards, Canadian provincial curricula and international programmes.
