Three science bachelor's degrees plus a medical doctorate means Sydny has taken chemistry at every level — from introductory courses through the biochemistry and pharmacology that med school demands daily. She unpacks topics like stoichiometry and gas laws by connecting them to the biological and medical contexts where those calculations actually do something, which tends to make the abstract feel worth learning.

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University currently pursuing a B.S. in Biochemistry. My inquisitive nature has fostered a love for mathematics, the natural sciences, and how they interact to produce the world we experience every day. This extends to my teaching strategy, where I emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding rather than pure memorization of equations and steps. My recent experience in a wide variety of Advanced Placement courses lends me insight to recent changes in course objectives and exam formatting.
Mole conversions, electron configurations, balancing redox reactions — high school chemistry has a way of piling up new skills before the last ones feel solid. Tammy tackles each topic by walking through the underlying logic first, then drilling the math until it's automatic. She holds a 5.0 student rating.
Respiratory therapy training gave Emmanuel a working knowledge of gas exchange, acid-base balance, and the chemistry of oxygen delivery systems — all concepts rooted in the same principles high school students encounter in units on gas laws, pH, and chemical reactions. He connects topics like partial pressures and solution chemistry to clinical scenarios from his time in adult critical care, which gives the material a concreteness that pure textbook explanations often lack. Holds a 5.0 rating.
As a dedicated tutor pursuing a Bachelor's in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University, I have over 5 years of experience in helping students excel in mathematics, including subjects like Algebra, Calculus, and Differential Equations. My teaching approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to explore concepts at their own pace. I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I strive to connect with each learner by tailoring my methods to their unique needs and learning styles. My passion for tutoring stems from witnessing my students' growth and confidence as they overcome challenges in math. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy being active and spending time with friends.
A first chemistry course can feel like learning a new language — element symbols, electron configurations, mole conversions — all at once. Devin simplifies it by anchoring each new concept to the periodic table's structure, showing students how trends in electronegativity or atomic radius actually predict the reactions they're studying.
When moles, molarity, and balancing equations all show up in the same unit, High School Chemistry can go from manageable to overwhelming quickly. Hunter approaches these topics by anchoring each calculation to a physical picture — what's actually happening to the atoms — which makes dimensional analysis and reaction predictions far more intuitive. His Biochemistry training at Boston College means he's solved thousands of these problems and knows the common mistakes before they happen.
Hello! My name is Darsh and I am a junior at UNC Chapel Hill studying Chemistry. Chemistry's been my passion for years and I've spent a lot of that time tutoring chemistry to struggling students and helping them towards success. I am capable in teaching IB Chemistry, AP Chemistry, General Chemistry 1 & 2, and Organic Chemistry 1 & 2. My teaching methods usually consist of lots of active learning with using tons of practice problems so you are ready for anything thrown at you!
Elisa's civil engineering degree required working through chemistry at the college level — particularly topics like material properties, chemical reactions, and stoichiometry — where understanding how substances interact wasn't theoretical but directly tied to structural design decisions. She uses that applied lens to walk through nomenclature, bonding, and quantitative problem-solving in ways that give the math a concrete purpose. Rated 4.8 by students.
Balancing equations and memorizing polyatomic ions only gets a student so far — high school chemistry really demands understanding *why* reactions happen, from electron configurations to intermolecular forces. Anameeka's pre-med science training at Pitt means she approaches stoichiometry and acid-base chemistry with the kind of detail that makes problem sets feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Julia's cellular and molecular biology degree required serious chemistry coursework — stoichiometry, equilibrium, thermodynamics, and acid-base reactions are all concepts she's internalized at the college level. She breaks down problems like balancing redox equations or predicting reaction products by connecting them to the underlying atomic behavior, so the logic sticks.
Tutoring in Wake Forest's chemistry department gave Taylor a front-row seat to where students actually get stuck — and it's almost always the transition from memorizing formulas to understanding why a reaction proceeds the way it does. With a B.S. in Chemistry and a biochemistry concentration, she unpacks topics like chemical bonding and reaction mechanisms by tying them back to the underlying atomic behavior, so the logic carries forward instead of resetting every chapter.
Chemistry often trips students up at the transition from memorizing element names to actually balancing equations and understanding mole ratios. Madison's biology program at Guilford required a strong chemistry foundation — organic reactions, stoichiometry, acid-base equilibria — and she brings that cross-disciplinary perspective to every session. She's especially effective at turning abstract concepts into visual models students can actually work with.
I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Science in Physics. I work with students in a variety of subjects, including Math, Physics, and Chemistry. I have experience working with students on the Autism spectrum and with ADHD.
Balancing redox reactions, predicting molecular geometry, and navigating stoichiometry all click faster when the underlying logic is clear. Cailee completed her pre-med chemistry sequence at the University of Michigan, where she learned to connect abstract concepts like electron orbitals and intermolecular forces to real chemical behavior. Rated 5.0 by students, she makes the problem-solving process feel methodical rather than overwhelming.
Balancing equations, predicting products, and navigating electron configurations are the skills that separate students who coast through high school chemistry from those who struggle. Nicole digs into the reasoning behind each rule so that solving problems feels logical rather than like guesswork. Her own science coursework keeps her sharp on exactly where students tend to get stuck.
Balancing redox reactions, predicting solubility, working through stoichiometry — high school chemistry is full of topics that seem unrelated until someone shows you the thread connecting them. Kathleen approaches the subject by grounding abstract ideas like mole ratios and electron configurations in concrete, step-by-step problem solving. Her science background stretches from biology to physics, so she naturally connects chemistry concepts to what students see in their other courses.
Chemistry demands a kind of thinking that's part math, part spatial reasoning, and part memorization — balancing equations, understanding mole conversions, and visualizing molecular geometry all at once. Lane's experience teaching across both math and science means he can address the quantitative side of chemistry without losing sight of the conceptual framework that holds it together.
Kelsey's double minor in chemistry at UNC Charlotte means she's currently immersed in the subject — not recalling it from years ago — which keeps topics like stoichiometry, nomenclature, and electron behavior sharp and immediately accessible. She also tutors chemistry through UNCC's Center for Academic Excellence, so she's practiced at pinpointing exactly where a concept like gas laws or periodic trends starts to lose students and adjusting her explanation on the spot.
Engineering students don't get to skip chemistry — Matthew's civil engineering degree from Clemson required him to work through general chemistry with a quantitative rigor that most high schoolers never see, particularly in areas like gas laws, stoichiometry, and thermochemistry where the math and the science genuinely intertwine. He leans on that engineering habit of setting up problems systematically, teaching students to track units and relationships before jumping to calculations. Holds a 5.0 rating.
A Yale psychology degree might not scream chemistry, but Bria's pre-med path means she's tackled general chemistry at a level where concepts like stoichiometry and equilibrium had to actually stick — not just long enough for a test, but well enough to build on in upper-level science courses. She zeroes in on the quantitative reasoning behind problems, teaching students to trace the logic of mole relationships and dimensional analysis rather than memorize setups. Rated 5.0 by students.
Stoichiometry clicks differently when the person explaining it is actively working through chemistry coursework right now — Amanda is a current chemistry major, so topics like mole ratios, limiting reagents, and gas law calculations are things she's using this semester, not recalling from years ago. She teaches students to trace the logic of a problem from the balanced equation forward, building the kind of step-by-step reasoning that makes unfamiliar questions feel approachable.
I'm passionate about helping students improve their test-taking and STEM skills. With experience working as a math tutor at a learning facility as well as a part of my own tutoring business, I am confident that I can help students succeed.
Studying chemistry as his actual major at Stetson — not just passing through it as a prerequisite — means Finnegan is deep in the weeds of concepts like electron orbitals, reaction equilibria, and bonding theory right now, which keeps high school topics immediate rather than rusty. He connects the dots between what students see in class and the college-level chemistry sitting just one step ahead, making ideas like periodicity and nomenclature feel like they're leading somewhere concrete.
A biology degree means spending serious time with chemistry — stoichiometry, molecular bonding, acid-base equilibria, thermodynamics. Jaela applies that cross-disciplinary knowledge to high school chemistry, connecting abstract ideas like electron configurations or mole conversions to real chemical behavior students can visualize. Her 4.8 rating speaks to how clearly she communicates these tricky topics.
I am a chemist having majored in Organic chemistry for my BS degree and environmental chemistry for my MS degree, in my career as an analytical chemist both in Research and development in a plastics industry and analytical chemist in environmental health laboratories, I have been a lifetime student of organic chemistry and chemistry in general. My passion has always been to help student excel in chemistry, especially organic chemistry which has endless applications in the present word. I started by tutoring my own children in high school and helped my daughter graduate with a BS in chemical engineering at North Carolina State University and my son as an electrical engineer from the same college. Organic chemistry bogs down students if they are behind in some basic principles such as understanding the periodic table and why the elements are arranged in specific patterns, i.e. periods and groups. They must be very clear about the filling of electrons in various shells and orbitals. A basic understanding of this will open doors to many aspects of the bonding theory, hybridization of carbon and its tetrahedral nature and the ability of carbon to infinitely bond with itself to make long chains and many complex derivatives. Chemical reactions take place at the outermost, also referred to as the valency shell and therefore understanding the orbitals in the outer shell helps the student tell what a sigma or a Pi bond is and other characteristics of a bonded atom such as lone pair of electrons which plays important roles in reactions and ligand chemistry. My favorite hobby is soccer and football. I love music so I usually play my guitar for leisure. I spend a lot of time studying interesting topics in organic chemistry on the internet.
Balancing equations and predicting reaction products can feel like learning a foreign language, but Eric breaks inorganic chemistry concepts down into logical steps that build on each other. His science training across biology and ecology gives him a knack for connecting chemical principles — like bonding and stoichiometry — to real-world processes students can actually picture.
Pre-dental coursework at Vanderbilt took Sarah through the full general chemistry sequence, so topics like stoichiometry, equilibrium, and gas laws are tools she still uses regularly in her science track — not material she's recalling from years ago. She zeroes in on dimensional analysis and mole relationships as the backbone of most high school chemistry problems, teaching students to map out the logic of a calculation before touching a calculator. Rated 5.0 by students.
Stoichiometry and gas laws tend to feel like arbitrary math until someone connects them back to what's actually happening at the molecular level — and Nishad's pre-med training means he's spent years building that connection across chemistry, biology, and anatomy courses. He teaches students to trace the logic from balanced equations through to mole ratios and limiting reagents, so the calculations follow naturally from understanding rather than formula memorization.
Balancing redox reactions, predicting molecular geometry, and navigating stoichiometry all require a different kind of thinking than most students have used before. Lauren minors in chemistry at Duke and uses that depth to explain *why* electron configurations drive periodic trends or *why* a reaction favors products — not just how to get the right answer on a worksheet. She's rated 4.8 across her subjects.
Cognitive studies at Vanderbilt might not scream chemistry, but Vy's science coursework and her 35 ACT mean she's no stranger to reasoning through problems involving moles, gas laws, or balancing equations. She's especially effective at teaching students how to read what a chemistry problem is really asking — a skill she honed tutoring algebra and science in under-resourced schools where clear, patient explanation wasn't optional.
The jump from memorizing the periodic table to actually using it — predicting reactivity, drawing Lewis structures, calculating molar masses — is where high school chemistry gets real. Jessica's pre-med coursework at Brown covers general and organic chemistry, and she applies that depth when teaching topics like acid-base equilibria and gas laws. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with students.
Balancing chemical equations, predicting products, and navigating the mole concept are the exact places where high school chemistry students tend to stall out. Ethan's science-heavy courseload at WashU keeps him sharp on these fundamentals, and he walks through each problem type with enough patience to make sure the reasoning — not just the answer — actually lands.
When high school chemistry students hit a wall with mole conversions or balancing redox reactions, the issue is almost always conceptual, not computational. Rahul digs into the 'why' behind each step — why coefficients matter, how electron transfer actually works — drawing on his Cornell chemical engineering background to make the logic visible. He holds a 4.9 rating from students.
Stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics tend to click faster when a student can see how the math actually maps onto what's happening at the molecular level. Ellie's pre-med and engineering background means she teaches these concepts with an eye toward why the numbers behave the way they do, not just how to balance the equation.
Balancing redox equations, predicting products, and navigating stoichiometry all become more manageable when a student understands the 'why' behind each reaction type. Maggie's molecular and cellular biology degree gave her deep fluency in chemical principles, and she applies that knowledge to demystify everything from periodic trends to equilibrium calculations. She holds a 5.0 rating from students.
Balancing equations, stoichiometry, and periodic trends all click faster when a student understands the 'why' behind each rule. Erica's science background at Harvard — plus her pre-dental coursework in general and organic chemistry — means she can connect high school chemistry concepts to real-world applications like how acids interact with tooth enamel. Rated 4.9 by students.
When mole conversions and electron configurations start piling up in high school chemistry, the subject can feel like pure memorization. Andrew reframes it: he walks through the logic of the periodic table so students can predict reactivity, bonding behavior, and molecular geometry from first principles instead of flashcards. Rated 4.8 by students.
