Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation. We teach and tutor various disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences, aiming to understand how the universe works, from the smallest particles to the largest cosmic structures.
Technology involves the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. We instruct students development and use of tools, machines, materials, and processes to solve problems and improve human life, spanning areas like information technology, robotics, and telecommunications.
Engineering is the discipline of designing, building, and maintaining structures, machines, and systems. We combine mathematics and science to solve real-world problems, covering various fields such as civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering, each focusing on different aspects of technological application.
Mathematics is the study of numbers, quantities, shapes, and patterns. We provide instruction in this foundational language for science and engineering, offering tools and frameworks for solving complex problems, analyzing data, and creating models to interpret the patterns and structures of the world.
