Enric holds a PhD in Chemistry, which means p-chem wasn't just a course requirement — it was the foundation his entire research career was built on, from quantum mechanical modeling to thermodynamic analysis at the graduate level. He teaches the subject by slowing down at the exact calculus step where a derivation goes from followable to opaque, rebuilding the physical reasoning behind each manipulation before moving forward. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am pursuing a career in dentistry/oral surgery and will be beginning dental school at Boston University this fall. For this reason I recently took the DAT, which I am capable of assisting you with as well. During my undergraduate education, which I completed this past December, I worked in my school's tutoring center, helping my peers succeed in mathematics and science courses. Outside of my academic life, I am a big sports fan and I mostly follow the New York sports teams. For fun, I like to play basketball and golf with my friends. I am looking forward towards getting to know you and helping you with your academic needs.
Pre-med coursework at Rutgers — graduating summa cum laude with a 4.0 — put Sam through the gauntlet of thermodynamics, kinetics, and quantum chemistry that p-chem demands, all while building the calculus fluency needed to survive dense derivations. He approaches topics like enthalpy, entropy, and rate laws by stripping each equation back to the physical scenario it models, making the leap from math to molecular meaning less painful.
A biology degree builds real familiarity with the chemical systems p-chem quantifies — enzyme kinetics, membrane thermodynamics, molecular energetics — and Hannah leans on that background to give derivations a biological anchor. She's particularly effective at breaking down where the calculus connects to actual molecular behavior in topics like equilibrium thermodynamics and rate laws, so students aren't just pushing symbols through equations.
Two chemistry degrees — bachelor's and master's — mean Chad has gone through the full p-chem gauntlet himself, from quantum mechanical models and statistical thermodynamics to the calculus-dense derivations of chemical kinetics. He teaches the subject by zeroing in on where the math and the molecular picture disconnect for each student, whether that's a tricky partial derivative in a thermodynamic identity or the logic behind a partition function. Rated 4.8 by students.
Thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and kinetics all collide in physical chemistry, and the math intensity alone can be overwhelming. As a chemistry major at TCU who's worked through p-chem coursework firsthand, Nathan breaks down derivations — partition functions, the Schrödinger equation, phase diagrams — into manageable logical steps. He connects the heavy math back to the physical meaning so equations stop feeling arbitrary.
Between biochemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry, Samantha sits at the intersection where biology meets the math-heavy formalism of thermodynamics and kinetics — she understands both the molecular systems and the derivations that describe them. She breaks apart intimidating topics like Gibbs free energy or chemical equilibria by tying each variable back to the biological and chemical processes students already recognize from earlier coursework. Rated 5.0 by students.
Medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin means Abrahim encounters p-chem's core concepts daily — reaction kinetics in pharmacology, thermodynamic energy balances in physiology, and the quantum mechanical principles behind spectroscopic diagnostics. His UCLA biology degree and 34 ACT demonstrate the mathematical fluency needed to work through derivations involving state functions, equilibrium constants, and entropy calculations without losing sight of what the chemistry actually describes. Rated 5.0 by students.
Eight years as a chemistry professor at Trinity College meant Maria taught p-chem repeatedly — not just lecturing on thermodynamic state functions and quantum mechanical models, but sitting with students in office hours untangling the specific derivation step where they got lost. That Ph.D.-level command of the subject, combined with a 5.0 rating, reflects someone who knows exactly which Maxwell relation or partition function integral is about to cause trouble and can rework it on the spot.
A physics degree means Eitan spent years inside the quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics that p-chem courses formalize on the chemistry side — Schrödinger's equation, Boltzmann statistics, and state functions are native territory rather than new abstractions. He teaches the derivations by clarifying the physical picture each equation encodes, so a student wrestling with a partition function or a Carnot cycle can see the molecular behavior driving every calculus step. Holds a 5.0 rating.
A chemistry B.S. means Edward didn't just pass p-chem — he built his degree around it, working through the thermodynamic derivations, quantum mechanical models, and kinetics frameworks that the course demands at full rigor. That direct grounding in the subject lets him zero in on where a student's understanding breaks, whether it's a shaky grasp of partial derivatives in a Maxwell relation or confusion about what a wave function actually represents. Rated 5.0 by students.
Teaching high school chemistry daily means Kathleen regularly translates thermodynamic concepts like enthalpy, entropy, and equilibrium into language that clicks — a skill that carries directly into the more calculus-heavy treatment those same ideas get in a p-chem course. Her M.S.Ed from Penn and chemistry degree give her both the content depth and the instinct for spotting exactly where a derivation stops making sense to a student. Rated 5.0 by students.
Conservation biology at ASU gave River a working familiarity with the thermodynamic and kinetic principles that p-chem puts under a mathematical microscope — energy flows in ecosystems, reaction energetics in biochemical cycles, and the statistical behavior of molecular populations. That biology-first perspective lets River approach topics like Gibbs free energy and equilibrium constants by starting with the physical intuition before wading into the calculus. Rated 4.8 by students.
Differential equations, calculus, and organic chemistry all sit in Nate's regular teaching rotation, which means he's constantly moving between the math and the chemistry that p-chem smashes together — and he knows exactly where students lose the thread between the two. He zeroes in on building intuition around concepts like chemical potential and equilibrium thermodynamics by tying each derivation back to the reaction behavior students already recognize from general and organic chemistry. Rated 5.0 by students.
A PhD in biophysics and a master's in organic chemistry mean Amin has worked through the quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics of p-chem from both the physical and molecular sides — deriving partition functions in one course, then applying free energy calculations to real chemical systems in the next. That dual perspective lets him teach a topic like the Boltzmann distribution or a phase diagram by moving fluidly between the mathematical formalism and the chemistry it's actually describing.
Pursuing a PhD in Analytical Chemistry at UIUC means Whitney spends her days immersed in the quantitative rigor that makes p-chem so demanding — thermodynamic derivations, kinetic modeling, and the statistical mechanics underlying instrumental techniques. She's currently TAing college-level chemistry courses, which keeps her sharp on exactly where students lose the thread in topics like Gibbs free energy, phase diagrams, and partition functions. That combination of active research and daily teaching gives her a practical read on which derivations need more physical intuition and which just need cleaner math.
