Launch Math + Science Centers — Science tutor

About Launch Math + Science Centers

Launch Math + Science Centers was founded in 2008 by Scott Heifetz, a former rocket scientist, CFO and college professor, driven by a mission to inspire children to love math and science. Its Upper West Side flagship centre runs small-class STEM afterschool programs (robotics, rockets, electronics, game/app design, chemistry, physics) for K-8 students, alongside a One-2-One private tutoring program and in-school partnerships that bring Launch's curriculum directly to schools across Harlem, Queens and beyond. A published parent review describes a thorough initial assessment identifying a daughter's specific strengths and weaknesses, followed by remarkable one-month progress with a tutor she connected well with.

Launch Math + Science Centers has been an outstanding teacher for my child. Her conceptual approach, regular tests, and patient explanations made difficult topics remarkably easy to grasp. We saw a noticeable jump in exam performance within two months.

My son used to be intimidated by this subject. After starting regular sessions with Launch Math + Science Centers, he now actively looks forward to classes. The progress tracking and doubt-clearing sessions are top-notch.
