Uchenna
Certified AP Chemistry Tutor
Uchenna
BA University of Maryland-Baltimore County • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine University of Michigan Medical School
9+ Years Tutoring

Between earning a biochemistry degree magna cum laude from UMBC and completing three years of medical school at Michigan, Uchenna has worked through every layer of chemistry that AP students encounter — and then watched those same principles reappear in pharmacology and pathophysiology. He digs into topics like electrochemistry and reaction thermodynamics by showing how the math connects to molecular behavior, drawing on the kind of deep conceptual fluency that comes from years of teaching peers through complex material. Rated 4.9 by students.

Kirby
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
8+ Years Tutoring

Kirby's biochemistry degree from the University of Michigan means she didn't just pass through general and organic chemistry — she built on those courses through upper-level work where concepts like thermodynamics, kinetics, and molecular structure had to be second nature. She unpacks AP Chemistry's trickiest areas, particularly equilibrium and acid-base problems, by connecting the math to the molecular behavior driving it. Rated 4.9 by students.

Tyler
BA Truman State University
10+ Years Tutoring

Tyler is working toward a chemistry doctorate at the University of Michigan, which means he's teaching and studying the exact college-level material — kinetics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry — that AP Chemistry condenses into a single high school year. He unpacks tough quantitative concepts like ICE tables and calorimetry by connecting the math to what's physically happening in solution, so the logic sticks long after the exam.

Vikhyathi
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
8+ Years Tutoring

Pursuing a dual degree in Movement Science and Biopsychology, Cognition and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan, Vikhyathi has taken the rigorous college-level chemistry sequence where topics like periodic trends, bonding theory, and intermolecular forces aren't abstract — they're the foundation for understanding how drugs interact with neural receptors. She leverages that context to teach AP Chemistry's conceptual side, particularly molecular geometry and electron configuration, by connecting what's on paper to what's happening at the atomic level. Her 35 ACT speaks to the analytical precision she brings to quantitative problem-solving on exam day.

Arsiyanti
BA University of Redlands
2+ Years Tutoring

I'm Yanti, a USC award-winning writing instructor, an emergency medicine continuing educator, and a biology major with a chemistry minor. For 36 years, I've taught students how to master difficult concepts across a very wide range of subjects. While I focus on professional licensing and standardized exam test prep, I've taught most major subjects at every level and ability. I love teaching, not lecturing. You will get information and techniques in any way that works for you: color-coded charts, visual mind maps, easy-to-memorize songs. Whatever the format, I break complex ideas into clear, doable steps that make sense to you. No fluff. No jargon. Just clarity, confidence, and even some fun. In our sessions, you get structure, support, and a coach who makes learning enjoyable and easy again. If you're ready to succeed, laugh a little, and learn a lot, please book a lesson. I'd love to work with you. Thank you!

I am a undergraduate freshman of the University of Michigan, studying business at the Ross School of Business. Working together with students and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all of my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing sports or snacking on desserts while binge-watching Friends!

I am a second year medical student at Wayne State University. I graduated from Grand Valley State University with two bachelor's degrees in Biomedical Sciences and Classics with a minor in Chemistry. I have been tutoring for four years in various subjects, but my favorites are Chemistry and Latin. I have experience tutoring from middle school to college age students and enjoy working with them one on one to identify their weaknesses and create a plan to rectify them. I believe that each student learns differently and finding the best strategies for them will lead to their success.

Carly
BA Oakland University
1+ Years Tutoring

Thermochemistry, equilibrium constants, electrochemical cells — AP Chemistry demands that students think quantitatively about reactions, not just balance them. Carly earned her degree in industrial engineering, which means stoichiometry and energy calculations are second nature to her. She teaches students to map out multi-step problems before touching a calculator, a strategy that pays off on both the multiple-choice and free-response sections.

Alaaeddeen
PhD Cornell University • BA University of Windsor
1+ Years Tutoring

Few AP Chemistry tutors have actually conducted graduate-level research at both Windsor and Cornell, which means Alaaeddeen can unpack equilibrium, thermodynamics, and kinetics with the depth the AP exam demands. He knows exactly where the free-response questions test conceptual understanding versus calculation, and he drills both. His 5.0 rating speaks to how clearly he communicates even the trickiest material.

Krisha
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

Biology majors at Michigan often underestimate how much AP Chemistry overlaps with what they're already learning — Krisha didn't, and her coursework in general biology gave her a working fluency with chemical bonding, solution chemistry, and the thermodynamic principles that drive biological systems. She teaches AP Chem's trickiest conceptual leaps, like why Le Chatelier's principle actually predicts what it predicts, by unpacking the molecular reasoning instead of handing students a shortcut to memorize.

Jake
BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

AP Chemistry's free-response questions demand more than correct calculations — they want students to explain why a reaction proceeds, connect molecular structure to macroscopic behavior, and justify claims with particulate-level reasoning. Jake digs into those conceptual explanations alongside the quantitative work, so students aren't blindsided by the written portions of the exam.

Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics each require a different kind of problem-solving, and AP Chemistry expects fluency in all of them by May. Kendall approaches each unit by anchoring the math in the underlying chemical logic — why a reaction favors products, what a mole ratio actually represents — so students can reason through unfamiliar problems on the exam. She also dedicates time to the lab-based questions that many students overlook in their prep.

Hello! My name is Danica and I am an incoming sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in Neuroscience and Psychology. As the founder of my high school's Chemistry Club, I worked to make challenging scientific concepts approachable and engaging for students of all grade levels. I developed educational materials, organized meetings, and created an environment where students felt comfortable asking questions and exploring their curiosity. I tailor my tutoring approach to each student's learning style, whether that involves working through practice problems, reviewing test corrections, creating study resources, or breaking down complex topics into manageable steps. I believe every student is capable of growth when provided with patience, guidance, and the right support. As a tutor, my goal is not only to help students improve their grades but also to foster confidence, independence, and a genuine appreciation for learning.
