Going from a Penn undergrad to medical school means Jessica sat through college chemistry twice — once as a prerequisite and again when biochemistry and pharmacology demanded she actually internalize concepts like reaction energetics, acid-base equilibria, and molecular interactions at a deeper level. That second pass gave her a clear sense of which gen chem topics students need to truly own versus merely survive, and she teaches accordingly. Rated 4.8 by students.

Pursuing a Doctorate of Physical Therapy means James encounters chemistry in a context most gen chem tutors don't — understanding how buffer systems maintain blood pH, how electrolyte concentrations drive cellular processes, and how thermodynamic principles govern metabolic reactions. His economics background also gave him strong quantitative reasoning, so he's comfortable walking through the math-heavy side of topics like stoichiometry and gas laws without losing sight of what the numbers actually represent. Rated 4.9 by students.
General college chemistry often trips students up at the transition from qualitative concepts to quantitative problem-solving — balancing thermodynamic equations, working through equilibrium expressions, or interpreting kinetics data. As a pre-med student at the University of Chicago, Emerson recently navigated these same courses and knows which conceptual gaps tend to snowball into bigger problems on exams. He breaks down each calculation by first making sure the underlying chemistry makes sense.
Graduate statistics teaching at USF means Matthew has spent serious time showing students how to work through quantitative problems step by step — a skill that transfers directly to the calculation-heavy side of college chemistry, from stoichiometry to equilibrium expressions. His private tutoring background in chemistry stretches back to his Johns Hopkins days, so he pairs that mathematical precision with genuine content knowledge of reaction logic, gas laws, and solution chemistry.
I grew up in the Boston area and now live in Citrus County, Florida. I graduated from MIT in chemical engineering and worked for many years as a chemical process engineer, so I have a strong background in math and science, especially chemistry and thermodynamics. I've also been granted six U.S. patents. When the pandemic hit us, I moved to Florida and did part-time work as a chess tutor, then became a substitute teacher in the middle and high schools in our district. I enjoyed working with the students, many of whom had difficulty learning in big classes with many disruptions. I found that I could best help these students by using real-world examples to teach difficult concepts in a new way. Often, then, the student would come away with a new perspective and a much better understanding of the concept. I was happy to be able to help. These days as a VT tutor, I continue to use, whenever possible, real-world examples in my own material in chemistry and thermodynamics.
Kelsey's science background comes from the St. John's Great Books lab sequence, where students engage with chemistry through original scientific texts and hands-on experimentation rather than a conventional lecture format. For college chemistry topics like thermodynamics or equilibrium, she unpacks the logic behind each concept so students can reason through unfamiliar problems instead of relying on formula sheets.
Surviving college chemistry means mastering thermodynamics, kinetics, and equilibrium at a pace that doesn't leave much room for confusion to linger. Tara spent her graduate years immersed in the chemical side of biological research — running reactions, interpreting spectra, calculating concentrations — so she teaches these topics as practical tools rather than abstract theory.
Between her biology degree and teaching IB Chemistry at both SL and HL levels, Sidra has spent years working through the full gen chem toolkit — electron configurations, stoichiometry, chemical kinetics — from multiple angles and at multiple depths. She tackles the spots where college chemistry gets dense by slowing down the reasoning inside each step, especially in multi-concept problems where students lose track of which principle they're actually applying.
Biotechnology coursework at UCF's Burnett Medical Scholars Program means Priya has pushed well past introductory gen chem — applying concepts like reaction thermodynamics, solution chemistry, and acid-base equilibria in upper-level biology and pre-clinical contexts where getting the fundamentals wrong has real consequences. She tackles problem sets by pinpointing whether the confusion is conceptual or computational, then addresses that specific gap instead of re-explaining the entire topic. Rated 4.8 by students.
College-level gen chem moves fast, and topics like molecular orbital theory, thermochemistry, and kinetics demand more mathematical rigor than most students expect. Daniel's chemistry degree from the U.S. Naval Academy means he learned these concepts at the same depth his students are encountering them now. He's been tutoring chemistry since 2017 and is especially sharp at connecting lecture material to the quantitative problem-solving that dominates exams.
As a biochemistry teaching assistant at the University of Florida, Rangish regularly breaks down the toughest general chemistry concepts — equilibrium expressions, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry — for students encountering them at the college level. That TA experience means he knows exactly where students get stuck on problem sets and how to reframe the logic behind stoichiometry and reaction kinetics so it actually clicks.
Pursuing nursing after completing a biology degree with a chemistry minor, Jessica has taken college chemistry from the prerequisite side and the applied side — she knows which gen chem concepts like molarity, gas laws, and solution stoichiometry actually resurface in upper-level coursework. She teaches the quantitative problem-solving by slowing down at the exact step where students lose the thread between the chemistry and the algebra. Rated 5.0 by students.
Being on the BS/DO dual admission track at Nova Southeastern means Esha is taking college chemistry with real stakes — every gen chem concept, from electron configurations to solution stoichiometry, feeds directly into the organic chemistry and biochemistry she needs for medical school. That proximity to the material gives her a sharp sense of which topics students underestimate early and regret later, especially when Lewis structures and VSEPR theory quietly become the backbone of everything in second semester. Rated 5.0 by students.
Thermochemistry, equilibrium, and acid-base chemistry demand more than plugging into equations — they require understanding why a reaction favors products or how a buffer actually resists pH change. Kevin digs into these concepts with students using the same frameworks he relied on through his UCSD science coursework and MCAT preparation. His 4.9 rating speaks to his ability to make dense material feel approachable even at the college level.
Between a biology degree and coursework spanning biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology, Michelle has looped back through gen chem concepts like electron configuration, chemical bonding, and reaction thermodynamics more times than most — each pass deepening her understanding of why those foundational ideas keep resurfacing. She tackles college chemistry problems by connecting the abstract (orbital theory, periodic trends) to the tangible lab and life-science applications that make them stick. Rated 4.9 by students.
Organic reaction mechanisms, thermodynamics, and molecular orbital theory all click faster when someone can tie them back to why they matter in a lab. Jason's molecular and cellular biology concentration at the University of North Florida means he uses chemistry daily in his own coursework, so he teaches it as a living toolkit rather than an isolated set of rules. He holds a 5.0 rating from students.
Undergraduate thesis work in a nanotechnology lab means Harrison has handled college chemistry concepts like thermodynamics, molecular interactions, and reaction kinetics under conditions where getting the details wrong ruins months of research. That lab intuition carries into how he teaches gen chem — he digs into the reasoning behind equations like Gibbs free energy or rate laws so students understand what's actually happening at the molecular level, not just which numbers to plug in. Rated 4.9 by students.
Pursuing a B.S. in Chemistry at the University of Central Florida means Qiwei is currently immersed in the same material — gen chem through upper-level coursework — so she knows exactly which topics like electron configurations, VSEPR theory, and solution stoichiometry are actively tripping students up right now. She tackles problems by slowing down at the conceptual step most students skip, making sure the reasoning clicks before moving to the calculation.
Physical chemistry and biochemistry sit at the core of Nicholas's graduate research, which means college-level topics like thermodynamics, kinetics, and molecular orbital theory are part of his daily thinking. He breaks down problem sets by identifying which principles actually apply, then teaches students to reason through the math rather than hunt for a matching example in the textbook.
Having taken IB and college-level chemistry alongside her physics degree, Payal understands the quantitative backbone of gen chem — gas law derivations, enthalpy calculations, electron configuration logic — from a physicist's perspective, which means she naturally emphasizes the 'why' behind formulas instead of treating them as things to memorize. She breaks down topics like atomic structure and chemical bonding by connecting them to the physical principles students rarely see in a chemistry classroom. Rated 5.0 by students.
Being a biology major means Viral has taken college chemistry under the same conditions most pre-med and life science students face — fast-paced lectures, cumulative exams, and labs where concepts like solution prep and titration technique actually have to work. He tackles topics like electron configurations, chemical bonding, and reaction stoichiometry by tying them back to the biological systems where they resurface, which makes the material stick instead of evaporating after the midterm. Rated 4.9 by students.
I am passionate about tutoring because I have been in your shoes before. I understand commonly confused topics and can help guide you through the right strategy to excel in your subjects. I have extensive experience working with individuals aged 6 through 40. I received my education from the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. I double majored in nutritional sciences and microbiology and received my BS. I received my medical degree MD from the University of Florida as well. I am currently a pathology resident and would be happy to guide you on the path of medicine if you have questions. I tutor practically every science and math topic, from chemistry, biology, and biochemistry, to algebra, geometry, and calculus. I also love teaching test prep such as SAT, GRE, and MCAT. I believe the best way to tutor is to guide with effective questions and relevant explanations. You are going to be taking the test or exam by yourself on test day, and I will make sure you have the tools and the mindset to excel.
Two things that have always been embedded in my soul has been my desire to learn and my desire to share that knowledge with those around me. Throughout my undergraduate, I squeezed in as many extra curriculum classes and worked in several research labs alongside working as a lead STEM tutor at my university's learning center while obtaining my Biomedical Engineering degree. Despite being done with school, I continue my pursuit of knowledge working in different labs and spending free time continuing to read, and I know it'll be a continual lifelong pleasure to help others connect with their own intrinsic knowledge as well! Looking forward to helping you succeed in your academic endeavors!
Interning at the CDC gave Jake firsthand exposure to the chemical principles behind laboratory protocols — from solution preparation and molarity to reaction stoichiometry — so he teaches college chemistry with a practical sense of how textbook concepts play out at the bench. He's especially effective at translating dense material into plain language, a skill he sharpened tutoring University of Florida student-athletes through rigorous academic content where clarity wasn't optional.
Thermodynamics, equilibrium constants, and molecular orbital theory all demand a level of conceptual thinking that pure memorization can't sustain. Roy's college science training at UF — where he took advanced chemistry coursework alongside his Microbiology and Cell Science major — gave him a working fluency with these topics that translates directly into clear, structured explanations.
Hello! My name is Siddhi Deshmukh. I graduated from UCF with a degree in biomedical sciences in December 2023. I have a wide range of tutoring experience rating from elementary school to college level subjects. I have worked as a volunteer tutor for high school, middle school, and elementary school students. I also worked as a Mathnasium tutor and Chemistry teaching assistant while in college. I also have tutored for standardized exams like the SAT. Working with students, addressing their weak areas and watching them progress as we go along is what keeps me motivated! Looking forward to working with you!
MIT's general chemistry sequence is notoriously fast — Vania not only survived it but tutored other students through it via the university's Seminar XL and Tutorial Services Room programs, where she got fluent in the exact places students stall out on topics like thermochemistry, equilibrium, and electron configuration. Her mechanical engineering training means she thinks about chemistry problems quantitatively, tracing how molecular-level behavior connects to the math rather than treating equations and concepts as separate tasks. Rated 5.0 by students.
Fourth-year med student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Michael has been applying gen chem principles — acid-base chemistry, reaction thermodynamics, solution behavior — in clinical and biochemical contexts for years, which means he can explain not just how to solve a problem but where that concept resurfaces later. His biology degree from Yeshiva College (summa cum laude) and time teaching MCAT prep for Kaplan gave him practice breaking down the exact topics that trip up college chemistry students: stoichiometry setups, equilibrium expressions, and the leap from qualitative reasoning to quantitative problem-solving.
Neuroscience at Yale meant David couldn't just skim gen chem — he needed concepts like electrochemistry, molecular bonding, and reaction thermodynamics to stick, because they showed up again in every neurobiology and biochemistry course that followed. Now pursuing graduate work in bioethics, he teaches college chemistry by linking each topic to the bigger scientific picture, so students see why mastering something like intermolecular forces or acid-base equilibria pays off well beyond the final exam. Rated 5.0 by students.
Having scored 1580 on the SAT and completed AP Chemistry coursework, Kendall brings sharp quantitative instincts to the trickiest parts of gen chem — the unit conversions buried inside equilibrium problems, the logarithmic reasoning behind pH calculations, the algebra hiding inside rate law expressions. She also knows that college chemistry often overwhelms students not because the concepts are impossibly hard, but because the pace is relentless, so she zeroes in on the specific spots where understanding broke down rather than re-teaching entire chapters. Rated 4.9 by students.
A bio-organic chemistry degree means Alex has lived through the full gen chem sequence and then pushed those concepts further — into reaction mechanisms, molecular orbital theory, and the quantitative problem-solving that upper-level chemistry demands. That depth shows up when tackling topics like chemical kinetics or periodic trends, where he can explain not just how to solve a problem but why the underlying chemistry behaves the way it does.
Matt's neuroscience degree with a chemistry minor means he didn't just pass gen chem — he built on it through upper-level coursework in biochemistry and physiology, where concepts like molecular bonding, reaction energetics, and equilibrium stop being abstract and start explaining how biological systems actually function. That applied perspective lets him teach college chemistry topics by anchoring them to something concrete, which tends to make the leap from lecture notes to problem sets much less painful. Rated 5.0 by students.
Neuroscience at Brown meant Crony couldn't just skim gen chem — courses in neurochemistry and cellular biology demanded real fluency with topics like electrochemistry, molecular interactions, and reaction energetics long after the introductory sequence ended. That background gives him a sharp sense of which college chemistry concepts actually need to be internalized versus merely memorized, especially for students heading into upper-level STEM work. Rated 4.6 by students.
Thermodynamics, quantum numbers, and reaction kinetics all demand the kind of mathematical fluency that comes naturally to Nima as a Duke physics student. He unpacks college chemistry problems by grounding each calculation in the underlying physical principles, which makes topics like enthalpy, molecular orbital theory, and electrochemistry far more intuitive.
A chemistry minor at Duke alongside her biology major, Lenique spent years working through thermodynamics, equilibrium, and reaction kinetics at a level that prepared her for the rigors of medical school at Yale. She breaks down tough concepts like molecular orbital theory and acid-base chemistry by connecting them to real biological systems, which makes abstract ideas click faster.
Working in a research lab at UTHealth, Emily applies gen chem principles like reaction kinetics, buffer systems, and molecular interactions at the bench every day — which means she can show students what these concepts look like beyond the textbook problem set. Her biochemistry and cell biology degree built the content depth, and active research keeps it sharp, especially for topics like solution chemistry and thermodynamics where real-world context makes the logic easier to hold onto.
Organic reaction mechanisms, thermodynamic versus kinetic control, and multi-step synthesis problems demand more than memorization — they require a framework for thinking through electron movement and molecular behavior. Maggie studied Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology as an undergraduate and now applies that foundation daily in her Stanford medical program. She unpacks each mechanism by tracing exactly why electrons move where they do, making complex transformations feel logical.
Between equilibrium expressions, thermodynamic calculations, and orbital theory, college chemistry demands a level of abstraction that introductory courses don't always prepare students for. Amber digs into the quantitative backbone of these topics, connecting the math to the molecular-level reasoning so that concepts like Gibbs free energy or rate law derivations make sense rather than just get memorized. Her breadth across chemistry and advanced math gives her a rare versatility in tackling problem sets.
